New Jared Kushner-Backed Lifestyle Mag Will Definitely Annoy You

Three staffers from Avenue, the Manhattan Media publication, are leaving to create a new lifestyle magazine that is going to be backed by Jared Kushner. According to the New York Observer, Avenue’s Publisher, Julie Dannenberg, Editor-in-Chief, Peter Davis, and Creative Director, Cricket Burns, will all be part of the yet to be named new title.

While Avenue targeted Upper East Siders, the new magazine will be different, said Dannenberg. “We are not an Upper East Side magazine, but a magazine for the affluent household, not defined by neighborhood or by age but by mutual interests and similar demographics,” wrote Dannenberg in an e-mail to The Observer.
