6th October 2011 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Autumn in the Big Apple is a true delight, and, quite frankly, the season couldn't have made its presence any sooner. Summer 2011 dispensed weather extremes of the highest order, to the point where New Yorkers, not the most tolerant souls at the best of times, became fed up to the back teeth with freaky forecasts and unimaginable conditions. So, being as the mysteries of meteorology have now become an...

January is, by tradition, a time when the award shows start to kick in: A time when you turn on the TV and scratch your head as to who the individual being honoured actually is. Outside of the Grammys, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild events, the focus around these parts is currently on those individuals who will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in a...

Following a long and successful run in Chicago, "Million Dollar Quartet" is about to open at the Nederlander Theatre on Broadway and West 41st Street. Yours truly went along to attend a preview and like the rest of the packed house, I came out totally blown away.

So there I was, checking out the merchandise in the gift shop at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Annex in Downtown Manhattan. I'd just done the tour and learned how David Byrne, Patti Smith and The Ramones had all but invented the music. This was indeed a revelation, as I'd been led to believe that people with names such as Bill Haley, Fats Domino and Little Richard had...

Bytes From The Big Apple: Conflagrations and Jubilations

Come the first of August I shall be chalking up my third month as a happily-transplanted newbie in midtown Manhattan. Why is it therefore, that circumstances have mischievously caused my settling-in period to be constantly interrupted by a string of travels that have taken me to Boston, Nashville, London and Bermuda. Don’t get me wrong, each port of call has been well worthwhile. Getting to see the Red Sox play, visiting...
