No matter when you visit, there’s sure Wto be something of interest going on. In this chapter, I list my choices for the best events, hotels, restaurants, attractions, shopping, culture, and nightlife. Whether you’re looking for a world-class hotel, exotic cuisine to enjoy, or the view from the Empire State building, I have no doubt you’ll soon compile your own “Best of” list . but here’s a good place to start! Best Events Best Parade: West Indian-American Day Carnival and Parade. Held on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, this is the biggest parade in New York. The music (calypso, soca, reggae, and Latin), the amazing costumes, and the incredibleCOPYRIGHTED Caribbean food make this an MATERIAL unforgettable experience. If you’re lucky enough to be in town on Labor Day, don’t miss it. See Chapter 3. Best Time of Year to Come to New York: Summer.

  • Robe Installed at Terminal 5 New York | 1
    Robe Installed at Terminal 5 New York | 1 Three key live music venues in New York City managed by The Bowery Presents – Brooklyn Steel, Webster Hall and most recently the Mondo Award-nominated, 2800 capacity Terminal 5 in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan – all feature Robe moving lights in their house rigs. The lights have been specified by Luciano Savedra, head of lighting for The Bowery Presents which is the East Coast regional partner of AEG Live and owns and operates a diverse mix of venues across NYC and in other major metropolitan centers. At Terminal 5, where Luciano also oversees and runs the lighting day-to-day, the 12 x MegaPointes and 12 x Spiider LED wash beams have greatly added to the flexibility of the existing lighting rig. The lights were supplied via BML-Blackbird. Brooklyn Steel – on the site of a former steelworks and named one of the 10 best live music venues in America by Rolling Stone Magazine – has 16 x Spiiders. Webster Hall has 10 x MegaPointes and is among New York City’s most historically significant theater halls, having hosted social and performance events since the club’s construction in 1886. Luciano has worked for Bowery Presents in different capacities since 2003, and in 2007 was hired to design new and contemporary lighting for Terminal 5, which had just joined the Bowery franchise, and also for another venue, Music Hall of Williamsburg, after which he stayed on as the house LD. All the house rigs are designed to provide top-level touring artists with the facilities to produce a Robe Installed at Terminal 5 New York | 2 comprehensive show, although that’s not exclusively the case, and productions can ‘mix and match’ systems by bringing in their own specials, or in some cases, their complete rigs.

  • Rock Clubs and Gentrification in New York City: the Case of the Bowery Presents
    Rock Clubs and Gentrification in New York City: The Case of The Bowery Presents Fabian Holt University of Roskilde [email protected] Abstract This article offers a new analytical perspective on the relation between rock clubs and gentrification to illuminate broader changes in urbanism and cultural production in New York City. Although gentrification is central to understanding how the urban condition has changed since the 1960s, the long-term implications for popular music and its evolution within new urban populations and cultural industries have received relatively little scholarly attention. Gentrification has often been dismissed as an outside threat to music scenes. This article, in contrast, argues that gentrification needs to be understood as a broader social, economic, and cultural process in which popular music cultures have changed. The argument is developed through a case study of The Bowery Presents, a now dominant concert promoter and venue operator with offices on the Lower East Side. Based on fieldwork conducted over a three-year period and on urban sociological macro-level analysis, this article develops an analytical narrative to account for the evolution of the contemporary concert culture in the mid-size venues of The Bowery Presents on the Lower East Side and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, as a particular instance of more general dynamics of culture and commerce in contemporary cities. The narrative opens up new perspectives for theorizing live music and popular culture within processes of urban social change. The article begins by reviewing conventional approaches to rock music clubs in popular music studies and urban sociology. These approaches are further clarified through the mapping of a deep structure in how music scenes have framed the relationship between clubs and gentrification discursively.

  • Para-PDF-LES-Chinatown-English-1
    LOWER EAST SIDE AND CHINATOWN. During the 80s, a lot of alternative and experimental galleries started to open on the Lower East Side. After the 2007 inauguration of the New Museum on Bowery, a wave of art spaces and commercial galleries looking for a cheaper and livelier scene, opened in the area. From there, the art scene kept moving south, taking over sections of East Chinatown. The Lower East Side and Chinatown are both neighborhoods that have historically hosted large concentrations of immigrants, working class families and artists. These three demographic groups have given the area a unique eclecticism and rich ethnic diversity. The Lower East Side is also known for being home to some of the best places in the city to see live music and an endless list of vibrant and exciting bars and restaurants. WE SUGGEST YOU DO THIS TOUR SOMETIME BETWEEN WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY because most galleries are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
