It’s official—Lugg has been named the Best of NYC 2024, and we couldn’t be prouder to celebrate this milestone with the city we serve.

This award isn’t just a title—it’s a reflection of the trust, support, and love from New Yorkers who book Lugg for everything from last-minute apartment moves to same-day furniture deliveries. Since expanding to New York City in 2021, we’ve aimed to make moving feel less overwhelming and more accessible. Winning The City’s Best proves that our mission resonates with the people who make this city great.

To everyone who voted, used Lugg, or recommended us to a friend: thank you.

This win belongs to you as much as it does to us.

What is the Best of NYC award?

The Best of NYC Awards—part of The City’s Best campaign—highlight the businesses that make life better across Manhattan and beyond. Powered by Schneps Media (publishers of amNY, The Villager, Downtown Express, Chelsea Now, and more), the program gives New Yorkers the chance to nominate and vote for the businesses they love most.

Unlike industry rankings, these awards are community-driven. That means every winner is chosen directly by the people who live and work here. Each category crowns a single first-place winner, making this recognition both rare and meaningful.

Winning Best of NYC not only shines a spotlight on businesses but also fuels local pride—because the winners represent what New Yorkers value most.

Why New Yorkers choose Lugg

Every day, New Yorkers juggle busy schedules, small apartments, and the challenge of getting big items from point A to point B. Lugg was designed to solve those exact problems. Here’s what people tell us they love most:

  • Booking movers in minutes, not weeks: Open the app, choose your pickup and drop-off, and a truck with two movers can be on the way.
  • Live tracking for peace of mind: Watch your move unfold in real time, just like you would with a rideshare.
  • The right truck for every job: From pickups to box trucks, we’ve got the vehicle to match your move.
  • Movers who do the heavy lifting: No truck rental, no back strain—our team handles it all.

This recognition shows that New Yorkers value a moving option that fits the pace of city life: fast, transparent, and stress-free.

Thank you, New York City

This award is as much about the community as it is about Lugg. From students moving into dorms, to families upgrading their homes, to small businesses setting up shop—you’ve trusted us to keep you moving, and that trust means everything.

We also want to thank the weekend treasure-hunters who book us to bring home their Craigslist and Marketplace finds, and the countless customers who shared their positive experiences and cast a vote in the awards.

New York City, this honor is yours too.
