NEW YORK — Congrats to the crew at New York magazine for winning last night for best magazine web site with over 1 million unique visitors.  The National Magazine Award was presented at the industry's annual gala held here last night.

Earlier this year, I sat down with the site's GM Michael Silberman. He talks about the the success of the site and how its blog strategy has been effective. Michael was previously an online executive at Rodale and at msnbc.com

The mood at the ceremony last night and the not exactly festive, reports David Kaplan at paidContent.  More from the New York Observer.
