The day has come where can cross one item off our "things to endlessly bitch about" list — the New York Times has (finally!) redesigned their website. It looks very New York mag online (minus the difficult to navigate tabs) and comes complete with a letter from the dot com EIC Leonard M. Apcar.

We also wanted to give our readers a greater voice and sprinkle a little more serendipity around the site by providing prominent links to a list of most e-mailed and blogged articles, most searched for information and popular movies. A new tab at the top of the page takes you directly to all our most popular features.

We think this "starving for spring break" story will get a pretty strong reader reaction. Especially because anorexia is so '97 … teens are totally puking and getting lipo these days.
