Who's the Michael Arrington of New York?

We all read Scoble, Valleywag, Techcrunch, Scripting News, but these guys are all based in California and cover almost exclusively Silicon Valley. What about the NY scene? Are there bloggers / journalists / entrepreneurs who cover what used to be called "Silicon Alley"?

Did you Google Silicon Alley? There's bits of info in there, including a NYTimes article about from last year

Joel on Software is not an industry/scene blog per se, but his company is definitely on the vanguard of the current nyc tech-startup scene.

How about emailing the people you mention to ask if they can recommend any NYC colleagues?

There are also far better, less Valley-centric looks at the tech industry -- I like Read/Write Web and sometimes GigaOm. I suspect there will be a lot more of these coming online in the near future, as the audience evolves out of the insular SV circle.
