Gothamist isn't new to NYC readers. In fact, this attuned and informal blog about all things city — from events to interviews to news — has racked up many a Bloggie nomination. But, more importantly, the -ist empire is ever-growing. Now with 15 city editions, including the new Houstonist and the farther-flung Parisist and Shanghaiist, it's becoming a phenomenon-ist. -Jocelyn K. Glei
