Curbed is an American real estate and urban design blog network founded by Lockhart Steele. There is also a national site,founded in 2010,that Steele once described as "Architectural Digest after a three-martini lunch.” The site hosts an annual contest,the Curbed Cup,to pick the best neighborhood in each city. Nice Try!,a Curbed podcast about utopias,was produced in 2019. On November 10,2013,The New York Times reported that Vox Media had purchased the Curbed Network,which,apart from Curbed,also included dining website Eater and fashion website Racked. The paper reported that the cash-and-stock deal was worth between $20 million and $30 million. As of 2020,as a part of a larger down trend of layoffs and restructuring among many Venture Capital-funded sites,and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,many of their area-specific sites have closed up shop,at least temporarily. The sole area-specific edition that remains active is the site for New York City.
