A long time friend, Kira Neel, recently recommended the blog,
Straw vs Gold to me. Founded by, Chloe Leichman, Staw vs Gold serves as a nice cultural round up, with a bias towards NYC.
On sites like this I always love learning about the folks behind the project and why they created it, and this one sit up there with the
best :-) Check it out
here, it's also copied below:
Straw vs Gold is where the cool kids hang out. Not those mean girls from high school, or the douchey people you used to work with. These are the ones you trust unconditionally for advice on style, music, art, and events. The ones who you know will be the first to tell you about an obscure yet amazing Brooklyn band or a talented up-and-coming South African painter. The ones who are friends with the dopest people at the party, but will gladly introduce you. Straw vs Gold is a cultural location with no pretention or snobbery, a clubhouse for creative innovation in all its forms.
