Eater Takes Bite Out Of Gothamist
The man who has turned in his stripes for flower-patterned shirts, Lockhart Steele, expands his citizen service journalism empire with the launch of a Curbed-branded sub-domained blog called Eater that will focus on food, restaurants, and the people who eat food and go to restaurants.
Piggy-backing New York food aficionados on the real estate obsessed is a natural move as market research studies have shown that those who buy or rent apartments also buy and eat food in restaurants, even sometimes in the apartments they own or rent.
Now cover your ears to protect yourself from the cries you hear bellowing from Thompson Street and the bowels of Jake Dobkin. Lock just needs to add someone who can rip (and I mean, rip) headlines from the daily papers, Pitchfork, and an arts/movies buff with bite to produce what everyone has always wanted: Gothamist, but actually good.
