Best NYC Blogs for Recession Times

Yeah I know: according to the math or whatever, the recession is over, but many of us are still struggling to find jobs, worthwhile freelance gigs, or places to buy things (we can't afford). Here is the required reading for such a climate:

1. New York Magazine Entries tagged "Downturnaround"

Tales of economic recovery; what could be more uplifting?
2. NYC Recessionista

Because we the people who walk the streets of Manhattan need to look good doing it.
3. Brokelyn

Loads of advice for the impoverished hipster community.
4. Not Eating Out in New York

Brokelyn is a really awesome site!

Also think that Design Sponge (http://www.designspongeonline.com/) is a good place to go for those who are looking to revamp the furniture they found on the street!

The problem is that the recession was the worst in history, and hurt a lot of businesses. In fact, it hurt so businesses so deeply, that many of them either went bankrupt, or had to lay off nearly their entire staff just to use the extra cash for profit taking and capital. That is why things are slow to pick up.
