For everyone with a New York story.
You may live in New York City, come from another U.S. state, or travel from anywhere in the world. If the photograph and the memory belong to your life in New York, your story belongs here.
Tell it in your own voice.
Upload one photo taken in New York City, add your public name, a personal title and location, and describe the moment in your own words. Where you are from or based, the date, bio, profession, and public links are optional.
Share more about who you are—if you want.
Your optional public profile can include your work or business, a short bio, social profiles, website, booking page, or another link you choose. Profile details appear only inside the approved story page, never on homepage cards.
Preview before you submit.
See your photo, title, story, and optional profile in the finished page style. You can go back and change anything before sending it for review.
We create everything for you.
After review, we prepare your personal story page, optional public profile, branded photo formats, and nine Reels. My NYC keeps every approved page, download, and future change request together.
Public or private—you choose.
An approved public story may join the NYC Stories collection. A private story stays out of the public collection and is available only to people who receive its page link. Your verified email is never displayed on the story page.
Free. No password needed.
A one-time email code opens My NYC, where you can manage your stories and submit changes for approval. Every submission and public change is reviewed for quality, consent, privacy, and safety.
