📝 Editorial Policy MeetFlatiron.com

At MeetFlatiron, our mission is simple: to help travelers explore New York City’s Flatiron District like a local—and to help locals and local businesses thrive in the neighborhood we call home. Half of what we do is for first-time visitors. The other half is for the people who live, work, and build community here every day.

Whether you’re new to NYC or you’ve lived in Flatiron for years, we’re here to make the neighborhood more accessible, more enjoyable, and more connected.

This editorial policy is here to outline how we approach content—and how we work hard to keep everything you read here accurate, trustworthy, and genuinely helpful.

🧭 Our Mission

We’re on a mission to showcase the best of Flatiron and Manhattan through honest recommendations, detailed travel guides, local insights, and lived experiences. We believe travel writing should feel like advice from a friend who actually lives here—because that’s exactly what it is.

✅ Accuracy and Reliability

Everything published on MeetFlatiron.com is:

Researched using primary sources and first-hand visits
Routinely reviewed and updated for accuracy
Based on personal knowledge and/or trusted local input

We are committed to sharing reliable, up-to-date, and location-specific content—especially in a city that never stops changing.

💬 Editorial Tone & Style

Our writing is casual, confident, and friendly. We skip the fluff and tourism clichés and give you real recommendations, clear directions, and relatable commentary.
We want you to feel like you’re getting advice from a neighborhood friend, not reading a brochure.

👁️ Transparency

If a post includes affiliate links, we disclose that clearly and honestly. We only recommend products, services, or places that we believe add real value to your visit. Integrity is non-negotiable—and we’ll never trade that for clicks.

📚 Content Scope

While we’re Flatiron-first, our content sometimes overlaps with nearby NYC neighborhoods like:

Chelsea
Gramercy
Union Square
K-Town
Lower Manhattan and beyond

Our goal is to help you get oriented, explore confidently, and discover the magic in the blocks most people walk past.

We also feature local business spotlights, community events, and neighborhood updates for our fellow Flatiron locals.

🎯 Reader-First, Always

We write for humans—not search engines. That said, we aim to be discoverable so that more travelers can find real, local-first NYC insights. Every guide is created with utility in mind:

Will this help a first-time visitor?
Does this answer a real question someone would ask a local?
Can someone use this info on the go?

🛠️ Revisions & Updates

If we get something wrong—or if a restaurant closes, a park reopens, or a new subway entrance opens—we’ll fix it. Reader tips are welcome! Let us know and we’ll update the article as soon as possible.

📬 Feedback & Reader Engagement

We welcome your thoughts. If a map, article, or recommendation helped you—or if something’s unclear—send us a message via our Contact Page or email. We love hearing from visitors (and locals too).

🔐 Editorial Independence

We do not accept paid guest posts, link exchanges, or undisclosed sponsorships. Our content is written by real people who live here, and we intend to keep it that way.

🧩 Final Word

By following these editorial principles, our goal is to make MeetFlatiron.com a trustworthy, enjoyable, and genuinely helpful resource for exploring NYC—especially the beautiful little slice of it we call home.

Thanks for reading—and we hope to see you around Flatiron soon!
