Secrets of New York is the all time most recognized television program in the history of the New York Tri-State television market, having won 16 Emmy Awards since 2006 on top of over 50 Emmy nominations. It traditionally dominates the Emmys in the categories of writing, videography, editing and graphics, and to many television production professionals, the series has emerged as the new benchmark for local television production in the United States.

The series is a documentary program produced by NYC Media Group. In 2007, the show won six New York Emmy Awards, and in 2008 it took home five awards. Hosted by Kelly Choi, Secrets of New York airs on NYC TV, WNBC and on PBS stations nationwide. Secrets of New York has been recognized for its approach to the television documentary format. With digital graphics and animations, stylized recreations, heavy metal and electronica original and canned use of songs and musical scores, writing, and a compelling subject matter, the show has widely become the signature production of NYC TV. The first four episodes of the second season were sold on DVD through the City of New York's CityStore and audio podcast versions are syndicated on the National Public Radio web site.
