New York Changing
As we wrote yesterday, New York is always changing. And true to form, the exhibitNew York Changing has changed locations. It's now at the Museum of the City of New York July 26th-November 13th. This is the exhibit of Douglas Levere's photographs that match Berenice Abbott's photos of New York, frame by frame, but with a difference of over six decades.
Offspring
Off the old blocks Mose Allison and the late Ozzie Davis, two talented chips perform this weekend at Rockwood Music Hall, 196 Allen [Houston/Stanton] 212.477.4155. On Saturday at 9pm, Amy Allison (pictured, photo by D. Plakke) performs. She's got some pipes. And on Sunday night, 7pm, bluesman Guy Davis.
