Do you love New York City? Are you neighborhood-savvy? Do you take notice of how communities evolve and note the latest trends? Do you also have a fine palate and enjoy the discovering the city’s myriad restaurants and bars? Are you sensitive to food quality, service and ambiance? If you said yes to all of these things and enjoy writing, then consider building a solid online audience for yourself and grow as a food critic with the passionate and energetic team of foodies at the Gotham Palate. We are looking for smart content that is honest, straightforward and offers readers useful recommendations to  get the best bang for their buck and avoid the pitfalls of tourist traps and price-gouging, substandard eating experiences.

This opportunity will allow you to share your views, help orient city residents and tourists alike and build a real following for yourself in the growing NYC online food blog community. Become part of a food writing community that will also engage in food-centered mixers and brainstorming and networking sessions. Monetary compensation is not available at this time, but we are working toward it and offering writers perks and compensation beyond valuable experience and exposure.

If the above opportunity appeals to you, send a sample of your food writing (no more than one page) and a note explaining why you think you’d enjoy this opportunity and what you’d bring to the team. E-mail Elena at elena@thegothampalate.com and type “I love New York” in the subject line.
