New York City from the inside looking out
Kick off the week with Fleming tonight at the Mercury Lounge in LES. Noted as the Docs of Alternative Pop-Rock, they will be celebrating their debut EP “Play for Manuel.” The band is comprised of a neurosurgeon, an orthopedic surgeon, and a NYC restaurant connoisseur. They’ll be treating their patients..err..audience with a sound described as “mash up of Interpol and Spoon with a sprinkle of Matthew Sweet.” See details tonight’s event with Fleming below.
Making their way from Philadelphia, The Tweeds will be performing this Thursday January 19th in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Looking towards artists such as Ghosts and Vodka, My Bloody Valentine and The Beatles for inspiration, The Tweeds take on a sound of their own.
On Sunday, December 11th 40 Lower East Side stores, restaurants and galleries will offer deals, freebees and special events as part of our Shop Local campaign.
When you make a purchase at any Lower East Side store you’ll get a free pass to our Holiday Oasis Lounge
On November 5, 2011, New York enveloped those who braved the heavily barricaded streets of the 2011 ING New York City Marathon. With a chill enough for spectators to put gloves on, the record-breaking 47,107 marathoners didn’t seem to mind. The sun was shining down on the participants, putting a warm, golden halo on their heads.
At 7pm tonight, New York City’s finest will begin marching up Sixth Avenue for the 39th Annual NYC Halloween Parade 2011. This year’s parade theme is The i of the Beholder. The much anticipated Village parade was inspired by artist Odilon Redon’s charcoal and chalk drawing Eye Balloon (see picture to the right).

Musical Festival – June 16, 2011
New York City musical saw players can be seen on TV, subway platforms, or at the Greenspace on the lower east side. This Saturday starting at 2pm the 9th Annual NYC Musical Saw Festival will be taking place in Astoria. The festival features a concert as well as an art exhibit that revolve around saw playing – a talent that has been around for 300 years. It’s amazing to see one saw player but a chorus of 40 carpenter saws being played at once?
