Binaural Recording, or 3D audio, is a method of recording sound using two separate microphones in the position of where a set of human ears would be. When combined and listened to using headphones, the sound is exactly like if you were there in person to hear it, resulting in an incredibly immersive experience. In this video from YouTuber PollyPoly, listen to 20 minutes at a New York City subway station as though you were there. Use headphones for the best immersive experience.

We are currently mid-snow-storm with no signs of snowfall stopping anytime soon, but that isn't stopping the New York City Department of Sanitation from hitting the streets, clearing the path for cars, trucks, buses and feet. To track the snowplow and spreader progress, the City has setup the very-cool PlowNYC map which shows you what streets have been plowed and when.

Bonus: Click over to the "Snow Removal Designation" tab near the bottom and you can see how important the City considers your street for snow clearing.

Video artist Nelson Sullivan went everywhere and filmed just about everything in New York City in the 1980s. In this recently uploaded video from the 5 Ninth Avenue Project — the NYU-run YouTube channel that is digitizing and releasing the vast archives of Sullivan's videos — watch as the artist documents a walk from Washington Square, through Astor PLace and St. Marks Place, to Avenue A in the East Village.

It's a beautiful day to enjoy the scenery between Washington Square and the East Village around Avenue A. Nelson Sullivan made this video on July 28, 1985
