Five NYC History Blogs

The Friday Five

Five NYC History Blogs of Wonder

1. The Bowery Boys. A friend turned me on to these guys, named after the infamous 19th century Manhattan gang. I WILL LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO IS NAMED AFTER AN INFAMOUS 19th CENTURY MANHATTAN GANG.
2. Ephemeral New York.
3. A History of New York.
4. NewYorkology. Okay, this site considers itself a travel guide, and has a lot of current goings-on listed. But even the most focused-on-contemp NYC blogs makes note of history. Because the history is vital to NYC. And that's one of the things I love the most about the city.
5. Lost New York City. A personal favorite, because it pays a lot of attention to Red Hook. And Red Hook is important. Because I said so.
