The Rundown Launches New York City Edition - Delivering More Fun In Less Time

Oct. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, NY  – The Rundown (www.rundown.com), the fastest-growing daily lifestyle newsletter in Los Angeles -- 70,000 subscribers and counting -- announced today the launch of its New York edition.

Building upon its success in LA, The Rundown’s free daily email separates quality from hype for busy NYC professionals, keeping them plugged into life outside the office with concise, actionable advice on everything from going out to staying in, as well as exclusive members-only deals.

“Unlike the competition, we field-test our picks so we can offer a roadmap to a memorable evening out, including insider tips and nearby suggestions,” said Editorial Director Chris Kaye. “Whether we’re writing about new restaurants or up-and-coming bands playing in town, we give our audience an early shout-out so they know what’s up without having to hunt for it.”

Kaye brings editorial chops and local know-how to The Rundown New York. The one-time Managing Editor/Director of Russell Simmons’ 360hiphop.com and Senior Editor at UGO Networks also counts tours of duty at the first wave of New York City guides (including Total New York, Digital City, and CitySearch) among his dozen-plus years of new media experience, as well as reporting for men’s magazines Esquire, Cargo, Stuff, FHM and men.style.com.

“From the moment we got traction with the Los Angeles edition, readers and advertisers have been asking us to come to New York to share our recommendations,” said Founder Rich Brest. “We are excited to uncover the city’s best and are looking forward to delivering the ultimate insider’s guide every day.”

Starting today, The Rundown is running a promotion to current subscribers to sign up their New York friends. Grand prize is a trip to New York for the launch party in November. For more details, go to www.Rundown.com.
