Gawker walked away as the Reader's Choice for Best New York Blog, while Gothamist was runner-up. Since our second-best company includes Best Not-Runners-Up: Pastis and Nobu (Best Not-New-Scene; Winner: Balthazar) and Il Mulino (Best Italian; Winner: Babbo), Piano's (Best New Nightclub; Winner Crobar), and Jean-Louis David (Best Haircut Under $50; Winner: Astor Place), we're chuffed (adjective meaning only...usually). Thanks to everyone for their support.

And check out the other fantastic New York blogs nominated: 601am, Buzzmachine, greg.org, LockhartSteele, low culture, Maud Newton, Memefirst, and TMFML.

We Try Harder.
Congratulations to you! Too bad that in virtually all the other categories, the Reader-Choosers seem to be telecommuting from Jersey. Fame trumped quality.
Ahhhh...to be two again!

Thanks all. In the immortal words of many a celebrity: "It's an honor just to be nominated."

We love Gawker and think it's been great. That's why we tried to kidnap Choire.

Announcer: And now, Avis Rent-A-Car is proud to present the second best band in America. Will you welcome Garfunkel, Messina, Oates, and Lisa singing their number two hit, "Born to Runner-up".
