You'll never know if you don't ask!

Whether by chance or by design, you've navigated brilliantly. Thank you for taking a step in the right direction: you've arrived at AskaNewYorker, New York's only website where you can find out just about everything there is to know about New York City from the people who know it best: New Yorkers themselves.

Are you chatty, opinionated, bold? You're in luck. This is where you can put those qualities that some other parts of the country consider character flaws to good use.

Share your knowledge of New York , your opinions, ask some questions, answer some. Help us make AskaNewYorker a virtual microcosm of this great city.

AskaNewYorker has humble beginnings, but lofty aspirations. Designed by a small team out of a Williamsburg apartment, all of us here at AskaNewYorker love New York so much we sometimes get teary-eyed riding the subway, or simply walking down the street. We hope that shows and we hope you'll make AskaNewYorker a success by visiting us again.

Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch once said that you don't have to come from New York to be a New Yorker, it is simply a state of mind. At AskaNewYorker.com, we agree with that estimation. We invite users from all over the world to field questions, including one that simply asks "What is a New Yorker"? So far the responses are varied, but everyone agrees that being a New Yorker means having an opinion; and we at AskANewYorker.com are banking on it.

Keep checking the site for new additions, there will always be something coming.
