Direct peers

• Aspen Magazine: Aspen Magazine (and similar Mountain West titles like Vail-Beaver Creek Magazine) is an affluent-market regional lifestyle magazine with strong dining, home, and event verticals. It is comparable to Westchester Magazine because both target wealthy suburban/regional consumers with high CPMs for local lifestyle advertisers.
• Philadelphia Magazine: Philadelphia Magazine is a regional lifestyle publication serving the Greater Philadelphia area with restaurants, events, home, and lifestyle content. It closely mirrors Westchester Magazine's product mix (print + digital magazine, directories, awards, events) for a single metro/regional audience.
• Connecticut Magazine: Connecticut Magazine is a regional lifestyle publication covering dining, things to do, home, and culture across Connecticut. It operates the same county/region-focused lifestyle magazine model with subscriptions, advertising, and signature awards programs — directly comparable to Westchester Magazine's positioning.
• Boston Magazine: Boston Magazine is a regional lifestyle magazine covering dining, home, and culture in Greater Boston. Like Westchester Magazine, it is a county/metro-focused lifestyle title with subscription, advertising, and event monetization, making it one of the closest direct analogues among U.S. city/regional magazines.

Broad incumbents

• Los Angeles Magazine: Los Angeles Magazine is a major metro lifestyle title covering dining, culture, home, and politics in the L.A. region. It is a relevant incumbent peer for Westchester Magazine's category of city/region lifestyle publishing, though it operates at a much larger scale.
