"When asked what AANY was, Moore's response was expansive. It's multiple things, he said. It's a question. It's a statement; it's also an endorsement. It serves as a stamp of approval for people with real experience. On their website, it writes AANY is dedicated to creating a bond between the tourist and the local."
Ask a New Yorker was created to help people find authentic answers when friends or reliable online sources are unavailable. Kennedy Moore began the idea while thinking about Ask Jeeves at the Green Market in Union Square. He started a message board where people worldwide could ask questions and New Yorkers could provide real responses. The project relies on the generosity of New Yorkers who form an “army” of responders. AANY functions as a question, a statement, and an endorsement, serving as a stamp of approval for lived experience. It aims to create a bond between tourists and locals by balancing wonder with local knowledge.
