NYC 5-borough DMO NYC & Company has announced the launch of The Black Experience in NYC initiative with neighborhood guides, videos, interviews, articles and profiles of Black-owned businesses, to celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of NYC's Black community.

NYC & Company President and CEO Fred Dixon said:

"As Black History Month kicks off this week, we are excited to launch this all-new permanent resource celebrating Black culture and the Black travel experience in New York City. NYC & Company is committed to doing even more to lift up the City’s vibrant and diverse Black community all year long, showcasing the many authentic experiences the five boroughs offer.

"With the largest Black population of any city in the United States, Black culture is integral to New York City’s identity – from its world-renowned music and style, celebrated food scene, the visual and performing arts, local businesses, and more. The City is the most visited urban destination in the U.S. by Black travelers, accounting for almost one in five visitors to the five boroughs."
