I am delighted to announce East End Taste Magazine is accepting pitches for Q1. My team and I will respond accordingly. We will close submissions on December 1st.
CALL FOR PITCHES
East End Taste is seeking compelling pitches for Q1 2026. We’re looking for fresh angles that blend culinary culture, sustainably-conscious travel, wellness, and event planning— especially through personal experience or unique viewpoints.
We’re especially interested in: upscale destination and regional guides that focus specifically on seasonal and coastal regions around the world, staycation stories that focus on a deep knowledge of a city or region that you live in or near/visit very frequently, sustainably-conscious food or wellness travel stories, roundups of hotel/resort properties or restaurants that have gorgeous/innovative event spaces or approaches to executing high-end events. Please note that our audience is primarily based in the Hamptons/NYC metro area.
We are not looking for: Hotel-, tour-, or restaurant-specific coverage (e.g., stories centered on a single property, tour operator, or venue) (these are handled in-house); Trip diaries, blog-style recaps, or general “how this place changed me” narratives; tourism-board-style pitches, such as “why X is the perfect family vacation”; Shopping, affiliate, gift guide, or commerce-driven content (these are handled in-house); Stories about travel you haven’t taken yet; Post-event coverage, including festival recaps or after-the-fact writeups (these are handled in-house).
