a good blog assignment

I like the blog: newyorkology.com
I lived in New York this summer and this blog helps a New Yorker (whether visitor or resident) with opinions on so many restaurants or places to shop or stay. Basically it talks and provides feedback about anything and everything to do in New York. Plus, it talks about upcoming events and what has happened recently and what is new in New York City. I'm obviously not living in New York right now but I'm still interested in knowing what is going on in that busy city because I visit it a lot. Also, I am very interested in cooking and fashion and the new trends in both of those areas. New York is definitely some type of an epicenter for those two subjects. New York is such a big and important city in the U.S. and so many people travel there yearly that keeping up on what is going on there is just as important as watching the news and knowing what is going on elsewhere in our nation.
On top of these different posts about New York and the goings-on there, many of the posts are tinged with humor. So not only are they informative--some are pretty funny. Also, many people pay more and more attention to what is going on in New York since September 11th. New York is a strong city and many people are paying more and more attention to it because of the terrible things that have happened in the past and how the city has bounced back.

This blog (like many others) is funny--so it's entertaining--but it also gives you opinions and straight opinions and advice from real individuals about what to do and where to go in New York. As many know, most New Yorkers are obsessed with their city so this blog would be of great interest to them as well as the people who can't get back to New York as often as they would like (like me).
