The network of Wave local publications

Every Wave. One network.

Long Island Wave, Gold Coast Wave and New York City Wave cover their regions the same way: daily local news, the events calendar, the places worth knowing and a free app. Pick yours, or read across all three.

Pick your Wave

Three regions, one standard

Each publication is written for the people who live there, by a newsroom that covers nowhere else. The same tools under every one: a newsroom that publishes every day, a calendar anyone can submit to, a directory of places and a native app.

A story every day, about here

Openings, closings, the people and the projects. Covered town by town, never from somewhere else.

Events

The calendar, today and this weekend

What is on tonight, Friday to Sunday sorted, and a form anyone can submit an event through.

Places

Where to eat, drink and go

A directory of places in every town, with the ones the newsroom has checked marked.

Apps

Free on iPhone and Android

The day's news, the calendar and the archive as a real app, with saved stories that work offline.
