Case study: Knew York
How we built an insider’s guide to New York City, with food, bars, hotels, clubs, news and tickets in one app.
The challenge
Visitors and locals look for the best of New York across dozens of separate sites and apps. Knew York brings the city’s news, places to eat and drink, where to stay, nightlife and tickets into one curated guide.
What we built
- A live NYC headlines feed and city guide
- Dedicated sections for food, bars, hotels, clubs, sports and travel
- A tickets section for NYC events
- Sign-in with Google or email
- A shop and basket, plus sponsor video ad slots
- Combat sports content, including a weekly KO feature, linked to our MyCornerMan platform
Built on a proven engine
Knew York runs on the same platform engine as 4AM, adapted for a city audience. Reusing a proven core is what makes new city and scene guides fast to launch, and cheaper than a ground-up build.
What it means for your project
If you want a city, venue or community guide with listings, news, ticketing and advertising, we can adapt what already works to your audience instead of reinventing it.
