What does Norma Knows New York City do?

Norma Knows New York City is a members-only online service for both discerning travelers and busy New Yorkers offering everything they need to know to plan their time in the city. Norma cuts through the clutter and eliminates the need to pore over endless websites and publications, providing hand-picked NYC finds all personally screened by Norma. Members get to experience a weekend through the eyes of a local, discovering neighborhood gems with Norma’s customizable weekend itinerary, and capturing the pulse of the city with her top monthly picks.

How are they different?

Other NYC sources just list masses of information and someone has to figure out what to do, which is overwhelming. Norma does all of the legwork and hand selects the best of the best that is NYC through her discerning eye. Convenience is worth paying for.

Why could Norma Knows New York City be BIG?

Norma is the trusted source for all things NYC. People will come to her when they need a place to eat, to shop, to bring the kids, etc. There is currently no other service like this for New York City. It is a boutique experience and offers both New Yorkers and visitors to learn about the city and become a part of a monthly neighborhood.

How they plan to make money:

We charge for membership. $64.95 for annual membership, $9.95 for a single edition (both currently 30% off). We also plan to roll out a Velvet Rope service in which people will be able to speak to Norma directly and have her plan their day, weekend, vacation in NYC, etc.

Our thoughts:

No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!

    Useful. Worth a try.

  3. Nick Leone says:

    Finally advice for seeing New York given by real New Yorkers. This is more then just someone putting New York into Google and feeding you the results. Give it a shot I can not think of a better add on for that expensive NY vacation!

  4. Carrie R says:

    See NYC in a whole new way. Find the gems in a neighborhood – where the locals who are ‘in the know’ hang out and get the best out of the city. Highly recommended.
