Social Media Hub: New York

A good post from Jennifer Van Grove:

New York City is rife with digital savvy and entrepreneurial vision, so much so that not only has social media permeated through Silicon Alley, but it’s stretching its reach to the arts, entertainment, and fashion.

A city with such density begs for community events that bring together people with a passion for the web as a social platform. With more than we can possibly list, the variety of New York’s events is nothing to scoff at as they continue to attract hundreds, if not thousands, on a monthly basis.

We’ve tried our hardest to present the best of the city’s offerings, but we know that this is only a sampling of the deserving individuals and organizations who are advancing a more social way of thinking in the Big Apple.

This post is part of Mashable’s Social Media Hub Series, which shines the spotlight on local social media communities, companies and personalities. The series is supported by Virgin America.

Cool Hunting

If you don’t know Cool Hunting by now, I suggest you subscribe to their newsletter because they always share tons of new stuff on design, architecture, and everything that is… well… cool. Their videos are little gems. You can watch them on their website or on your iPod and iPhone for free, just visit the iTunes Store in the video podcast section.

Cool Hunting showed me around Manhattan and Brooklyn last Friday with other creative mind during the 99 Percent conference and I have found some inspiring shops:

-Alter
-Fred Flare
-Eat Records
-Greendepot
-The Smile
