Taking New York is a structured-reality television series broadcast by E4 in the United Kingdom. Taking New York chronicles the lives of a group of twenty-something British friends striving to make their American Dream come true. Featured locations include Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island.

These viewing figures are taken from BARB.

The reality-series was announced in August 2014. E4 reads "Taking New York is a reality series that follows the lives and loves of a group of British twenty-somethings as they battle to build their American Dream life in The Big Apple". Filming for the series took place between June and September 2014. The first series full-length trailer was revealed on December 29, 2014, six weeks before the official series premiere. The first series of Taking New York began on Monday 9 February 2015 for eight episodes.

Reviews for the first series were positive, with Radio Times saying, "Taking New York has the glossiness and drama of Made in Chelsea with the likability and comedy of The Only Way Is Essex - and it's silly, fun and completely addictive".

The series premiered in Australia on June 21, 2015 on LifeStyle You.
