About Us
It’s not About Us, it’s About You and the Places You Love!
Only In celebrates unique aspects of people and places around the world - and you! – with a platform for sharing your experiences in places you love, and for discovering more through the experiences of others who love those places, too. We’re starting out with photos, videos, quotes and stories, adding other creative mediums soon. The site is curated and our editors have a high bar, but we know you’re up for the challenge and that it’s that bar you’ll appreciate. We always keep you front and center with obvious attribution and the option to have your own self-curated profile page where you can reveal as much or as little as you’d like with your adoring public. Meanwhile the cities themselves are stars as together we show what makes them the quintessentially special places we love and want to know better.
And we're a place to SHOP, of course! What better way to celebrate the places you love than by wearing and gifting one of a kind products that showcase them, and you as an insider who knows the real scoop? You'll find apparel, tote bags, water bottles and much more designed by local artists who know just how to capture the unique essence of your favorite places.
Only In is also an expression of what we are passionate about - Celebrating our differences and letting them enrich and connect not divide us; Honoring the creators among and within us, including profit sharing with the designers of our products; Enabling discovery and fun that makes life more fulfilling; And helping others, with 10% of Only In net proceeds going to local charities.
Our founders are New Yorkers so our first media focus is Only In New York, but we're already global with merchandise in the SHOP from around the world, and pages for celebrating your favorite cities everywhere are coming soon. Galleries, profiles of local entrepreneurs, contests and a running check on the NY Beat will also be joined soon by recommendations (with a twist!), and much more.
So join in! Share your ‘Only In’ moments, visit our Shop, cruise through the galleries ...Isn’t it time you were discovered and discovered more? Check back often to see what's new and what your neighbors are seeing and saying.
