This is one of the biggest allures of the city that never sleeps. Jazz, Salsa, Rock, Electronic, Disco, Reggae…you name it, and chances are it’s happening in New York City tonight. But the best news? You won’t have to take out a mortgage on a weekend condo to experience it. A 40-minute train ride from our Rivertown villages, followed by 15-minutes on the subway placed us in downtown Manhattan, right on the doorstep of a variety of active and intimate concert venues.
At the Mercury Lounge, a cozy lower east side concert hall with no backstage, we were able to speak with each of the bands after their captivating performances. We were truly amazed at their sincerity and equal interest in us as we approached them, and the connection that we formed that night rushes to the forefront of our minds each time we hit play.
Check out below the artists and venues we have had the privilege of experiencing. Who knows…you may just come away with a few new favorite songs to add to your daily playlist.
