Music on Thursdays - house band (Jesse Williams, Bruce Bears, Mark Texeira) are excellent professional musicians. They back up singers, soloists who are touring or based in this area. Food pretty good.

Getting around
Extensive subway system developed over the past 100 years.
Like any big city, best avoided at rush hour.
