New York City Blogs

The Bowery Boys (theboweryboys.blogspot.com) – Collection of historical posts concerning the city. Highpoint of this blog is the extensive historical podcasts which can either be accessed via the sight or on iTunes; apparently these were named among the best travel podcasts by the UK’s Daily Telegraph. Check out such featured topics as Old McSorley’s Ale House, the Pan Am Building and Shakespeare in the Park.

Overheard in New York (overheardinnewyork.com) – This website may have been slightly overshadowed by the creation of Texts from Last Night, but great postings keep appearing here. If you haven’t already, prepare to be amazed by the stupidity of the things that come out of your fellow New Yorkers’ mouths.

Curbed NY (curbed.com) –Blog that discusses one of New York’s most vile yet most neccessary topics: real estate. This blog somehow makes real estate topics humorous and gives you the feeling that it’s on your side, unlike so much to do with real estate. Features a search function that allows you to select the neighborhood you’d like to read about.

Gothamist (gothamist.com) – Get your fill of the local news, and explore topics such as “Dickchicken Revealed (Sort Of)” and “Guiliani: Terrorists Never Attacked When Bush Protected Us.” Ha.

NYC Bloggers (nycbloggers.com) – Not a blog exactly, but a website that organizes thousands of NYC blogs by subway line and stop. Admittedly, this blog could use a little cleaning up, but hopefully you can use it to find a blogger near you (if they are still blogging).

New York Daily Photo (newyorkdailyphoto.blogspot.com) – One photographer’s personal take on the city, or exactly what it sounds like, with a bit of musing commentary to accompany each photo.
