How to Be a New Yorker
04/02/2026 | 19 mins.
There's no easy answer to the question of how to successfully be a New Yorker, but New York Magazine is launching a new newsletter to try and make navigating city life easier. "How to Be a New Yorker" offers tips on how to do very specific things in New York, like how to throw a party, where to get a haircut, how to exercise without going broke, how to catch the best concerts, and more. Features editor Julia Edelstein discusses what you can learn in the newsletter and listeners share their advice on how to be a better New Yorker.
All Of It with Alison Stewart is a show about culture and its consumers.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and context.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and the culture.
Our aim is to engage the thinkers, doers, makers, and creators, about the what and why of their work. People make the culture and we hope, need, and want the WNYC community to be a part of our show. As we build a community around ALL OF IT, we know that every guest and listener has an opinion. We won’t always agree, but our varied perspectives and diversity of experience is what makes New York City great.
ALL OF IT will be both companion for and curator of the myriad culture this city has to offer. In the words of Cristina De Rossi, anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College, London:
"Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things."
...In other words, ALL OF IT.
