There is an article by Roy Edroso in last week's Village Voice called "I Blog New York: Your Guide To Gotham's Best" that should prove resounding and relevant to anyone with an Arts Journalism bent, a blogging curiosity, or slightly voyeuristic inclination.
Along with a comprehensive list of amazing blogs that are particular to NYC, but not exclusively for New Yorkers, Mr. Edroso provides researched commentary on the claims and reality of a decade long blog revolution. The featured blogs range from food-centric musing, to neighborhood news items in the Burroughs, to an epic photo journalism project covering the scope of a subway construction site near Second Ave. (The Launch Box)
My favorites from the list:
*Food in Mouth: This blog features exquisite, mouth watering pictures, first off. Food is usually just a jumping off point for unique, witty, musing.
*Slant Magazine's The House Next Door: Popular Culture reviewed.
*Art Fag City: This woman seeks to make contemporary art graspable for people who aren't necessarily 'versed' but who are interested.
What comes from reading Mr. Edroso's article is, for me, pure invigoration. The next step is to step away from New York City and seek more local, extraordinary blogs. Or make one.
