It was founded in April 1968 by the editor Clay Felker and the graphic designer Milton Glaser, and was among the first "lifestyle magazines" meant to appeal to both male and female audiences. Geared for an audience that is generally college-educated working professionals, its readership includes both area residents and visitors interested in keeping in touch with local lifestyles. Created to report on and interpret recent events in the New York metropolitan area, it contains news about the city as well as reporting and criticism about restaurants, the arts and entertainment, shopping and services in New York.

It includes three subsections; a quick survey of the city’s most important events is included in It Happened This Week; Party Lines is a photo page; and the Competition, which challenges readers to solve New York-specific problems such as designing a new bridge or remaking an urban health club. The Features section showcases the big stories about people, politics, business, the media, food, fashion, crime, culture, real estate, medical issues, parenting, and quality of life issues.
