Gotham will feature a curated selection of retail, exhibits, and happenings that reflect New York's cultural zeitgeist.

For its inaugural show, Gotham will partner with Bright Moments to present an NFT gallery. The store will also feature a permanent installation by NYC-based multimedia artist Molly Lowe.
Gotham is open for in-person shopping and pick-up daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., with delivery coming soon.

As a beneficiary, the nonprofit will receive a portion of the proceeds to fund its programs.
&Beer will, naturally, offer a diverse selection of beers on-tap alongside bottles and cans curated by Proletariat's cicerone Ramon Manrique Hung, plus a selection of natural wines, paired alongside a mushroom-focused menu consisting of 12 offerings, all featuring mushrooms in various forms. The team has worked with local purveyors like Smallhold and Mushroom Queens to devise the focused menu.The new spot is adjacent to Proletariat, which moved here last summer from St. Mark's Place.
