NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER PARK PLAYGROUND
Warren St. at River Terrace, Battery Park City
Parents can Zen out on the views while the smaller set heads for the
pedal carousel, sand tables, and a water play area so excellent it
makes childless adults want to breed so they can enter the gates.
Kids love the spraying animals (a hippo, an elephant, and dogs’
heads). The grounds are intelligently divided by age, so there are no
casualties on the kiddie slide.
While you’re there: Turn somersaults on the wide lawns nearby; marvel
at the fact that this is actually New York.
Steven Krane Esq.
Check out the Museum of the American Indian, in the old Customs
House, way down near Battery Park at the bottom of Broadway. It is
part of the Smithsonian and is free. Lots of great exhibits, and I
think that there is a new installation.
Not too far from that museum, a little north on Broadway was a small
Museum of Finance or Museum of Money, something like that. Not sure
if it is still open now, but worth looking into.
Best regards,
Anita Taub

> This is the 2nd Free Concert Newsletter this season. I hope some of
> you are getting out seeing these concerts. I have attended 2
> concerts so far, and I will give you a brief review of those
> concerts at the end of this newsletter.
> Let me tell you what’s in store for you in the next 2 weeks.
> Suggestion- check the list below, see what performances you want to
> go to and put it on your social calendar. Most people will look at
> the list and say “this looks like one I would like to see” but
> totally forget about it and kick themselves in the butt, after they
> realized that it slipped right by them. The reason- they failed to
> PUT IT IN WRITING. This is one of those “lessons of life” which
> apply not only to free concerts but to other things as well.
> Putting your goals in writing is the ONE OF MANY NECESSARY STEPS to
> accomplish what you want in life.
>
> Enough of the motivation- let talk “ROCK ‘N’ ROLL”.
>
> On Friday the 13th, (7/13) there will be two tributes bands playing
> at the Jones Beach Bandshell. The first is BAD MEDICINE a Bon Jovi
> Tribute band and 626 (I have no clue who they are). As mentioned in
> previous newsletters, the Jones Beach Bandshell is my favorite
> venue. It’s located on the Jones Beach Boardwalk (you won’t get
> sand in your shoes), and there is ample free parking (no charge to
> park you car after 4:00 PM on weekdays). The guys who run the
> concerts Bob and Bill (www.jonesbeachevents.com), are really good
> people (I met them last week) and work really hard to see to it
> that the shows run well. The Jones Beach Bandshell is a small
> arena, so every seat is a great seat, and there are usually only a
> few hundred people attending the concerts. There is food/drink
> available (including beer) at the concession stand alongside the
> Bandshell.
>
> While we’re on the subject of the Jones Beach Bandshell, on Friday
> July 20, 2007 there will be 2 other tribute bands MAMMOTH (Van
> Halen) and THEATER OF PAIN (Motley Crue).
>
> BOBBY VINTON will be performing at the John J. Burns Park in
> Massapequa on Saturday 7/14/2007. A blast from the past, he sang a
> plethora of hit songs back in the late 50’s and 60’s including
> Roses are Red, Blue Velvet, Mr. Lonely, etc. He also hit the charts
> in the 70’s with My Melody of Love, celebrating his Polish
> heritage. Definitely worth seeing, however, this venue is big, it
> fills up quickly- so arrive early. Suggestion- “Park Your
> Car” (say that like your from Boston) outside the concert area off
> of Merrick Road, and walk a few blocks to the concert. They usually
> have Historic/Antique Cars on display at the concert grounds, which
> makes the evening even better.

> My Review
>
> On Friday 6/29 I saw 2 tribute bands at the Jones Beach Bandshell.
> First was a Heart Tribute Band named BAD MEDICINE, and the other
> was 2112 a Rush Tribute Band. Both were excellent and worth seeing.
> I rate them 4/5 overall on the Reich scale. If I were a true Heart
> or Rush fan, I may have given them 4.5/5.
>
>
>
> One of the things I like most about the summers is meeting up with
> friends at the Free Concerts. On 6/29, my wife Lori, and I met up
> with our friends Mona and Richard Coy, owners of Aunt Bella’s
> Restaurant. They brought some really fine pizza from their
> restaurant. Aunt Bella’s is this nice, quaint, cozy, Italian
> restaurant located at 46-19 Marathon Parkway in Little Neck
> 718-225-4700. They serve some excellent food (my favorite is
> Chicken Francais with sauteed onions and mushrooms) and do a great
> job catering. The restaurant is like something you would envision
> while listening to Billy Joel’s song “Scenes From An Italian
> Restaurant (a.k.a. Bottle of Red/Bottle of White). It's like eating
> in a large dining room at home. We meet up later with some other
> friends ,Cathy and Tom, and a great time was had by all.
>
>
> On Friday 7/6 THE BROTHERS OF THE ROAD (Allman Brothers Tribute
> Band) rocked the Bandshell. I have seen the Allman Brothers perform
> nearly ½ dozen times, and if you closed your eyes, you’d think your
> were at the Beacon Theater attending there annual 13 date Spring
> tour in NYC. These guys get a 5/5 on the Reich scale. Great place
> to meet up with friends. We met up with our friend Perry, Harold
> and Harold’s son Jason.
> If you know someone who wants to receive a copy of my newsletters,
> have them e-mail me with their first name, last name and e-mail

> If you want to receive an e-mail attachment (in Microsoft Word) of
> the entire list of approximately 140 free concerts in the area,
> send me e-mail and I’ll be sure to get it to you pronto. You will

> THE MANHATTANS have had a remarkable 40-year career on the R&B
