A little recognition for our love of New York: Featured among the Best NYC Blogs
City Beautiful Blog explores the history, architecture, and hidden stories that make New York City endlessly fascinating. It’s about uncovering the people, places, and ideas behind the city’s ever-changing streetscape. It means so much to me when my work reaches beyond these pages—whether it helps readers discover a forgotten New York story, inspires further research, or contributes to conversations about the city’s history and architecture. City Beautiful Blog was included in Feedspot’s 35 Best NYC Blogs to Follow in 2026, a curated list of blogs covering New York City and its many facets. I’m proud to be recognized alongside other voices exploring New York’s people, places, culture, and history.
