Editorial Focus

Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood is a website that started in 2000. It is a collection of nonfiction stories, essays, reportage, and vignettes, all of which are set in New York City. Readers can search stories on the site by neighborhood (Chelsea, Midtown, Harlem, Red Hook, etc.)

Tips From the Editor

Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood is looking for nonfiction stories set in New York. A story should be reasonably short, vivid, specific, and true. It can recall a person or a place, or it can recall an experience that moved you. We’re interested in the distant past as much as the present. Your story should be true to the facts as best you understand them.
