The New York University web-rendition of contemporary metropolitan reality shows like Gossip Girl and The City is looking to expand its cast for the spring season. Executive Producer Michael Flutie's webisode venture titled Under The Arch follows select NYU students and alums as they go about their lives in the city. While the show revolves around 9 students and their "authentic experiences," the casting call is open to "new students, friends, influencers and talent" from all over for its second season. The search continues tomorrow at the David Barton Gym (4 Astor Place) from 9:30am-12pm. And just so you know how to dress for your big audition, get a look at the show here.

While current Top Chef contestants battle it out in Chicago, the series prepares for its next round of the culinary contest/reality show. Bravo has announced its casting call for the 5th season (New York's open call is May 11th at the Culinary Institute of America in Astor Center):

Chefs with a passion for food, creativity, a thorough knowledge of cooking techniques and trends and oodles of charisma are what we're looking for. We want both self-taught cooks and those who have trained at top culinary schools.

An application and video must be submitted, so check the site for more details. No word yet on where the new season will take place -- but perhaps Top Chef Brooklyn is in order. We can already envision a challenge at Whisk & Ladle or a crossover episode with Williamsburg's Feed Me Show.
