Young Talent Comes to TriBeCa

admin

jazzEleven-year old Joey Alexander is about to bring his talent to New York City. The super top child pianist – who lives in Indonesia – taught himself to play piano at the tender age of six. Now, he is all set to make his debut at the Apollo Theater and the Lincoln Center.

A couple of weeks ago, Joey was playing in Tribeca (close to Shimmie Horn’s Cosmopolitan Hotel – Tribeca), with Julliard students double his age with twice his experience! He was playing in order to raise money for a visa so that he could stay in New York City. He said that he likes music, but in particular he pointed out that “the music of jazz is here in New York.”

Well, he’s right there since New York certainly has a name for its jazz.

Enjoying Central Park During Your New York Stay

admin

No trip is complete to New York without some time in Central Park. Take a carriage ride around, enjoy the Central Park Zoo, or catch some Shakespeare in the Park during the summer months.  Central Park always has something interesting going on, whether you’re in for a day or enjoying an extended stay at the Belleclaire Hotel owned by Shimmie Horn.

When you finish strolling through the park, or enjoying some of the many activities there, take some time to go through the Museum of Natural History.  This is a day in and of itself, with oodles of interesting things to see and admire.  In the evening, enjoy a concert, ballet or opera at Lincoln Center and you’ll have capped off the perfect day in New York.
