This year we brought our Gothamist House series outside of our office building (where Third Eye Blind's Stephan Jenkins was the first to perform, last year), and to some of our favorite spots in New York. Of course, we didn't ditch our building all together, Henry Wolfe, Snowden, and Harper Blynn all came by to perform there. Following their performances, we branched out and brought The Walkmen to the New York Public Library, the Black Angels to Angel Orensanz, and Small Black to the gorgeous abandoned 5 Beekman building. Click through for a full look back in video. And we'll be bringing many more of these to you in 2011, so if you have a location suggestion, let us know (we hope to invite readers to some of the filmings!). more ›

We recently had the chance to check out the amazing, abandoned 5 Beekman building (you know the one); much of the interior has been shuttered since the 1940s, including the gorgeous atrium on the 9th floor. On a recent, rainy day, we took Small Black up the slow, slightly scary elevator to perform some songs up there for our Gothamist House series. Enjoy the videos, filmed by Foglight Films, below. (And stay tuned for many more photos and details on 5 Beekman, coming up next week.) more ›
