Please join us in welcoming Bedford + Bowery, a hyperlocal web collaboration between New York and NYU, covering the East Village, Lower East Side, Williamsburg, Bushwick, and Greenpoint. The site launched yesterday and has already featured stories about a play called Too Many Lenas (yes, about Lena Dunham), a supper-club featuring a book called Cook to Bang, and the pro–Citi Bike Hasids, so you’re going to love it. Editor Daniel Maurer, a co-founder of Grub Street, said the blog plans to take “a big-picture look at trends and tectonic shifts across all of these neighborhoods and beyond.” Follow them on Twitter, and check it out now. This should be fun.
