NYC is America's most walkable city. 72% of Manhattan residents don't own a car. Walking billboards thrive where people walk, and nowhere in the US do more people walk than New York.
Highest Spending Power
NYC metro area GDP is $2 trillion. Median household income in Manhattan is $93,000, and the city's consumer spending exceeds $400 billion annually. Every impression has purchasing potential.
Cultural Capital of the World
From Broadway to the Met Gala, NYC sets global trends. Advertising in New York carries cultural cachet that amplifies brand perception worldwide.
Year-Round Outdoor Activity
