ABOUT BLOCKFEED

Blockfeed is the only NYC news app that shows you the stories youre closest to, anywhere in the city. Think of it like a magical newspaper that rearranges its front page to present the news nearest you.

How is this possible? The Blockfeed team geolocates nearly every news story in NYC (14,000 stories per month). Having the location of a story allows us to create a news stream tailored to your location in the city.

OTHER FEATURES:

- See the news closest to your exact location
- Discover restaurant reviews, cool events, and culture
- Get notified when a news story breaks near you
- Explore the news via a map
- Subscribe to your favorite publications
- Start discussions with other locals in your area

NOTE: Blockfeed currently supports New York City, with more cities coming soon.
