Five NYC History Blogs of Wonder
- 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.
- Ephemeral New York.
- A History of New York.
- 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.
- 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.
