The New York Observer was a loss-making weekly newspaper in New York that was popular with the financial and media elite until November 2016 . The New York Observer was published by the New York Observer Co. The paper reported on New York life, politics and personalities. The first edition was published on September 22, 1987 by the US billionaire and investment banker Arthur L. Carter .

In 2006, the then 25-year-old Jared Kushner , son of billionaire and real estate magnate Charles Kushner, bought the newspaper for ten million dollars . Carter kept a minority stake and advised Kushner.

Kushner rebuilt the paper, invested in the digital appearance and discontinued the print edition entirely in November 2016. Today the magazine continues to exist as an online magazine under the name Observer .
