In our endeavor to capture what goes on beneath the lattices and bricks of the big apple, DAME brings you two interweb-enablers worthy of your coffee break. These two sites specialize in guiding you behind closed doors for news, events, and to give you a closer glimpse at the neighbor’s life across the street from your 21st floor apartment.

Each second in New York at least 10 amazing things happen. Gothamist intends to be there, whether the scoop is window glass falling off the top floor of the Chelsea Stratus, Bruce Willis bartending at his new upscale lounge Bowery Wine Co, or a civilian getting hit by a train on 36th street. A good mix of “worldly” news and kitschy, fun material plus a comprehensive catalogue of events and great food deems the Gothamist site homepage-worthy. Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, London, and Los Angeles are also members of the “ist” family.

This site covers all things home decorating, including ways to revitalize your pad, the latest products, trends, and additionally covers LA, San Francisco and Chicago.

Apartment Therapy will take you in, visiting stylish abodes around the city to make you appreciate the beauty of each chair and candleholder you see.
