NEW YORK CITY — Randall Manor and Richmond Town are two neighborhoods chosen by the city to highlight in its new tourism campaign — which aims to get New Yorkers to explore their city.
NYC & Company, the city's tourism branch, launched the second year of its "See Your City" campaign Monday, singling out 10 neighborhoods across the city and highlighting five things to see or do there.
“We are thrilled to bring back the popular See Your City campaign, highlighting ten more neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs and further inspiring New Yorkers to take advantage of living in a world-class city,” said Fred Dixon, president and CEO of NYC & Co., in a statement. “New York City is a must-visit destination, and we want New Yorkers to take a day to explore the wonders in their own backyards.”
The campaign chose two neighborhoods in each borough, including Atlantic Avenue and Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, Corona and Rockaway Beach in Queens, Riverdale and the South Bronx in The Bronx and Lower Manhattan and Washington Heights in Manhattan.
See Your City posted its guide to each neighborhood on its website.
For Richmond Town, the guide highlights Historic Richmond Town, where visitors can churn their own butter or catch a concert during certain seasons. Visitors are also encouraged to check out the ponies in Decker Farms.
In Randall Manor, the campaign showcases Snug Harbor Cultural Center, the Noble Maritime Collection and the restaurant Blue, where visitors can watch tugboats on the harbor and see the historic homes in the neighborhood.
NYC and Company launched a similar guide last year, but spotlighted a different set of neighborhoods.
