Looking for Food, Fun, Films, Frolic on a Blog

I am on the lookout for recommended blogs/diaries/journals written by people living in the following locals:

Boston
New York City (including surrounding areas: No. NJ, Westchester Cty, So. CT, & Long Island)
Toronto, Canada
Chicago
Austin, TX
Southern California (specifically Orange Cty & San Diego)

I hope to find new friends who share my likes, or at least see what the locals have to say about these areas. I travel all over North America, but these locs are where I seem to visit over and over again.

Please pass me any sites you know (or suspect if no city is specified). - TE
