No one can pay Park Avenue Online to be included in our editorial content.
On occasion, we receive a preferential editorial rate or a free experience as part of the review process. This in no way impacts our decision about coverage: It will only be included in a story if it is worthy and ultimately, Park Avenue Online approved. We will never suggest or recommend sub-par experiences.
