A transatlantic breakfast summit

This morning I took part in a transatlantic blogger meet-up in the Martini Lounge (alas, not a one in sight, though it was 9am) at the new Arch Hotel.

The event was organised by our friend Jeremy at Transatlanticism, a New York-based organisation we’ve gotten to know through our work on Metrotwin.

Metrotwin is about creating connections, through people and places, between New York and London. This morning’s chat delivered hugely on that premise, so much so that I thought I would introduce some new additions to my transatlantic universe.

Urban Junkies — met the very stylish Taryn; love the site… both the London and Barcelona versions.

Hint Magazine — Lee Carter’s baby is one of the original online fashion magazines.

Gadling is one of AOL’s travel sites and is stacked with great content about New York, London and beyond. Contributor Annie was on hand this morning.

The Brooklyn Nomad — author Andrew is a lifelong New Yorker and seems to encounter his share of unruly characters. Entertaining.

Matador Network is a motive-driven travel site that has me thinking more about why I travel; author Sarah, just in from Mexico, has me thinking I need some sun.

Refinery29 — met Associate Editor Connie; cruised through the fashion/lifestyle site ‘just for a minute’; am now hopelessly addicted.
