Time Out New York

TO is one of the most biased review sites. My genuine reviews have been removed for no reasons whatsoever. I will post them here once again so that people know how TO manipulates the businesses across holiday domains. This one is in response to TO's unethical, biased, utterly rubbish reviews of Nusr-et by Clayton Guse and Richard Morgan. I hope Nusret sues you guys. Clayton, why does it bother you so much that Nusret has over 11 million followers on Instagram? What is the point of comparing his popularity to that of NASA? Why don't you compare his social popularity to yours instead? I see, you only have 1,455 followers on Twitter and perhaps you keep asking yourself why people follow guys like Nusret on social media- despite his "Turkish background"...Well, the point is Clayton that a little bit of modesty and honesty work miracles nowadays. I suggest you follow my advice and next time before you start bad-mouthing someone and his business, go and ask his followers why they prefer him over thousands of gourmet restaurants in NY. ..."four pieces of beef sushi tableside with a blowtorch for $20." and you call that expensive? That's a pretty good price for NY. .."cutting a steak barehanded in front of you is somehow sexual and certainly perturbing." Seriously? I don't want to know what thoughts would cross your mind if I had invited you for Xmas dinner. I think you better see a therapist about your rather bizarre arousal. "Nusr-Et isn t worthy of New York City s restaurant scene, but it s what we deserve. We all helped create this monster. " You almost sound like the guy has established an American style monster fast food chain. Luckily, Nusr-et has less biased reviews than yours on Google. Richard, I don't go to Nusr-et to learn Turkish. Contrary to your banter, I found the servers there very intelligent, hard working and timely. A bottle of Voss at $10 is a bargain, considering some supermarkets sell it for $11.99 per bottle. Also, If Nusret is rewarding his staff with exclusive holidays in Dubai, Miami etc, surely this plays as positive motivation as far as his business is concerned. What makes you think that Nusr-et's servers are gullible? Perhaps other NY employers should consider taking their staff on holidays abroad. When it comes to food, unlike your reviews, customers base their judgement on other factors: 1- quality of food 2- location 3 - price and staff. Nusr-et has definitely got all of them.

Back in the early 2000's this company I owned had a destructive Instructor that we long since let go and the relevance of these nasty reviews is obsolete. A man named Craig came in 2010 and bought the company and since then has turned it around. I have not been able to get any cooperation from Time Out to clean this up-

I have paid $25 for delivery, but I receive the magazines late and sometimes not at all. I have submitted a complaint and was offered apologies plus few months of delivery for free, but this doesn't help if I'm not receiving the magazine or receiving it late.

Definitely a shell of its former self (through no fault of the magazine), but still the best broad weekly guide for entertainment and happenings in NYC. Or at least a starting point to check each week. Also has reviews and local interest articles.

They solved the always late subscription delivery by eliminating subscriptions (but said nothing about refunds). Used to be a really good magazine but has gone way downhill.

I have tried to find the place and I was not successful to find it

If you were a subscriber before it was free, your subscription was greatly devalued when the magazine became free and became inferior to what was published before. You now got a much thinner magazine with reduced and inferior content for the same price you already paid. And, the magazine shows up days after the events listed occurred. The events listings start (and the amount of events listed is greatly reduced from what it was) on Thursday, yet the magazine arrives between Friday and Monday. And, if you receive it when you get home on Friday, and don't live in Manhattan, are you jumping back on the train because something you would want to attend is that day, and might be half over when you get there, if you hurry, anyway? They must know that the magazine arrives days after what it lists, so why don't they adjust the publication schedule so they can mail it so people get it timely. Of maybe they just throw it in the mail for the people who don't live in Manhattan or Brooklyn, because, based on their content, that, and the western strip of queens, are basically all they consider "New York", and I can't imagine that people in those areas get it days late. Actually, why don't you just change the name to "Time Out Manhattan, Brooklyn, LIC and Astoria?

I'm disappointed that I actually had to give this a star to rate it. It's not worth one star. Let's forget their crappy "reporting", bad grammar, poor editing, and crappy production values, what really gets to me is that when I subscribed to an otherwise-free publication, they couldn't manage to get it to my mailbox by the date that the publication was supposed to come out--meaning that any events that I wanted to go to had already happened. All in all, this is a free publication that isn't worth what it costs.

Like other reviewers here, I have a subscription that is delivered to me anywhere from a week to two weeks late, thus rendering it useless as a time-sensitive guide to events in NYC.
