Curbed

Curbed is a blog network in the United States that focuses on real estate and urban design. It was established by Lockhart Steele and includes a national site, launched in 2010, which Steele humorously described as "Architectural Digest after a three-martini lunch.” Each year, the site organizes the Curbed Cup, a competition to determine the top neighborhood in various cities. Additionally, in 2019, they launched a podcast called Nice Try!, which explores the concept of utopias. On November 10, 2013, The New York Times announced that Vox Media had acquired the Curbed Network, which also encompassed the dining site Eater and the fashion site Racked. The acquisition was reported to be a cash-and-stock deal valued between $20 million and $30 million. By 2020, amid a broader trend of layoffs and restructuring affecting many Venture Capital-backed websites, along with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, several of their local sites have ceased operations, at least temporarily. Currently, the only active local site is the one dedicated to New York City.
