Curbed Awards '07 Neighborhoods IV: Curbed Cup Finals!

---

Whew, 2007 was a wild one, wasn't it? To honor the insanity that crept into all matters neighborhoodish and real estatey, we present the Fourth Annual Curbed Awards. This year, the awards will be presented in small batches, finishing today. Today, we close out the year with the final reader vote in the 16-team Curbed Cup tournament.

In 2004, it was Fort Green. In 2005, Prospect Heights. And in 2006, West Harlem. Once again, the time has come for Curbed, Eater, and Racked readers to name the Neighborhood of the Year, the winner of the Curbed Cup for the neighborhood that most defined New York City this year. What started as a 16-team tournament back in early December comes down to this: the #4 seed, the West Village, facing off against the #10 seed, Long Island City. Through the tournament, we've seen passion, frenzied indifference, and massive voting shenanigans. What will today's vote bring? It's time to find out.
