Want to stay on top of everything that’s going on in the New York City startup, tech, and entrepreneur scenes?

This list of online publications gives you timely information about whats going on in the greatest city on earth.  These sites cover anything from events, information on capital raises, the who’s-who of entrepreneurship, companies that are making news, and what the government is doing to support us in our endeavors.

Check out this list of the must read sites to follow for New York entrepreneurs…

1) Startup Digest–this calendar and newsletter curated by Frank Denbow, Julia Levy, and Satjot Sawhney tells you exactly what events are going on in NYC this week.  It’s focus is the tech startup world and competes with newsletters such as Gary’s Guide.  Get the newsletter every monday, to know what events to hit during the week.

2) We Are NY Tech–everyday at 9AM ET a new interview with someone in the New York Tech scene goes up.  These interviews aren’t always founders or famous VC’s, but valuable members of the community who are making it happen.  Take a look at the people grinding it out in the trenches of the concrete jungle.

3) Xconomy New York–this hyperlocal site covers business, life science, and technology news in New York City.  The content can be quite technical, covering bioscience and M&A deals, but the site is always worth browsing if you want to be serious about who’s making headlines in the startup world.

4) Crain’s New York–this New York publication covers the nuts and bolts of business from Wall Street, to real estate, to the arts, and small business.  Their 40 Under 40 list is one of our favorites and the timeliness of their news keeps you abreast of what’s going on in the economy on a macro level.
