There's always an array of things to do around NYC. With all the different choices, its hard to keep up with everything and then *POOF* you miss the event, concert, exhibit, etc. To keep track of what I'm looking forward to, and for ideas of things to add to your own list, here is my fall to-do list in the city.
CMJ Music Marathon {October 16-20}: Talib Kweli, Kimbra, Mountain Goats & more
Mike Snow {October 19}
Justice (or Jooooostice depending on your state) {October 21}
John Legend {October 29}
Walk Off the Earth {October 31}
Martin Solveig (November 10}
Matt & Kim {November 15}
Kreayshawn Presents Group Hug Tour{November 15}
Of Monsters and Men {November 20}
The Who {select dates from November 14-February 21}
Looks like I've got quite a lot to accomplish in the next few months. I'll let you know how the progress goes, and let me know if you want to join in the fun or have additional recommendations!
{Thank you Time Out New York for many of the great ideas, such a great resource of fun)
In the last year or so I've become obsessed with the Electronic Dance Music ("EDM") world. It was a sign of the year to come after ringing in NYE with Avicii in January. The lights, the music, the dancing, the people watching, nothing can compare. To celebrate the second night of passover, Shay, Joanna, her boyfriend Chris and I put on our best and brightest to fist pumping the night away with half of Jersey at Sebastian Ingrosso at Roseland Ballroom. The show was absolutely incredible to say the least. Ingrosso is part of Swedish House Mafia, who is a staple in the electronic community, and were the first EDM performers to play for a sold out show at Madison Square Gardens this past winter. Ingrosso broke out from the group to do solo sets Friday and Saturday at Roseland. He showed that he could succeed on his own, as the set was hit after hit. Highlights of the night: thousands of calories burned after jumping up and down for hours and being hit on by 19 year olds; downfall: over twenty-four hours later the ears are still ringing, only solution I found was to listen to the set again on YouTube! Here's a small peak at our experience:
