New York City Blogs

The sprawling metropolis of New York encompasses a melting pot of cultural influences whilst at the same time being quintessential of America and all it stands for. Foreigners visiting the city are often mind blown by its intensity, and even long-term residents have a hard time getting to grips with the densely populated and built-up streets from time to time. Of course, there are as many preconceived notions about New York City as there are globally famous attractions, and there is no better way to understand life and living in the city than by consulting the blogosphere. With eight and a half million people spread between its four boroughs, it stands to reason that there are more NYC related blogs than one could possibly discover in a week, let alone keep track of - to aid this, the Tripbase judging team have compiled a list of ten of the best, not only for the enjoyment of readers but in recognition of their continued service.

  • Fish Without Bicycle

    www.fishwithoutbicycle.blogspot.com/

  • Paz's New York Minute

  • NYC Bloggers

    www.nycbloggers.com/

    It may be a little disingenuous including NYC Bloggers in our top ten New York City blogs, since it technically raises the total to well over 6,000; the site groups bloggers together by locality as shown by the iconic subway map, meaning that if the other nine on this list don't satisfy, you'll always be in touch with someone in your area.

  • New York Daily Photo
