Everything you need to know about GO
What is Gotham Oracle?
Gotham Oracle or GO is your portal to New York City. It's fueled by what makes NYC so expressive: Community & Small Businesses. Only in NYC can these exist on the scale scale they do and in such a beautiful array of diversities.
GO Guides are blogs about NYC. Written and linked guides to the communities around you. They list and link to our [

GO Guides are blogs about NYC. Written and linked guides to the communities around you. They list and link to our [
GO Deals in app] to guide you directly to our Partners. In other words, no more laundry listed pdf planners and secret maps. We'll explain what
GO Deals, GO Partners, and even what getting involved yourself as a GO Affiliate are below. What are GO Deals?
Think of GO Deals as PPV (Pay Per View) coupons and local events. In other words, GO Deals are like your grandma's coupon book. Peruse deals all around you, and pay for the ones you want to "cut out" of the coupon book and present to an employee where you're going.
How do I view and use GO Deals?
Easy. Filter (toggle) for GO Deals in app. You'll see all our our Partners around you and all of their deals! Most are paid to "redeem". Very cheap and the savings always outweigh the cost. After redeeming, you'll have 24 hours to present your
green digital redemption to an employee of wherever you're going. Are GO Deals always paid?
Not always. Some GO Deals, like regularly searched happy hours
[highlight the GO Deals + Happy Hour tab] are free. Same with some [Loyalty Rewards] in your area. Though if GO Deals are ever found via our Affiliates and/or their written GO Guides then they're paid. We do this to compensate them for their NYC research. Become an Affiliate here and get paid for your NYC knowledge!How do I write GO Guides?
Easy! Let's Get You Paid for Your NYC Knowledge!
Step 1) Become a GO Affiliate
Step 2) Search, claim, and represent GO Deals or submit your own on behalf of a GO Partner. They'd better confirm you represent them! We'll check.
Step 3) Start writing. Start Guiding!
We call our writers Contributors. So congratulations, you'll then be a GO Contributor!

Do I have to write GO Guides to be an Affiliate?
Nope! Writing GO Guides will provide you more exposure and allow you to express your opinions, but there is no need to write any. By just becoming a GO Affiliate (and not a GO Contributor) you become searchable. Users can search and redeem the GO Deals you're helping represent, getting you paid.
What does the
[GO app] do? Do I need it? If this website is NYC's blog, the GO app is NYC's recreational engine:
If GO Guides are your maps, the GO app is your compass along the way.
If GO Deals represent a coupon book, the GO app is how you cut them out.
In essence, you don't need anything. Chart your own paths, kings and queens. But the GO app will provide you with access to New York City like no other. So you're going to want it.

How do you source deals and events? Ethically.
We're SMBs first. Small Businesses submit what deals and events they want to show off. Not the other way around. We're here to champion SMBs and NYC communities. The more unique the better.
Similarly, we have our opinions about the predatory use of AI and the digital slop-ification of modern social media. NSFW but spoiler alert.. f**k 'em. We suppose that's the freedom of speech that comes with building a startup by people for the people.

What else can GO do?
We're glad you asked. To be honest, a lot. The power of the people is unrivaled. With New Yorkers writing GO Guides, Partners setting up websites on GO, and the GO app connecting it all the world is all of our oyster. We'll allow the below example to hint at what we mean.
Let's say you want to know which bars have pool tables in Bushwick. Sure you could go down endless Reddit threads. Or you could search "pool table" in GO's web search bar. Bingo. The listed and linked partners (operating hours, bar details, pictures, etc.) that have pool tables.
