Known for her soulful folk-pop style, Ingrid Michaelson is a force in the music industry. Over the years, the singer released platinum hits “The Way I Am,” “Girls Chase Boys,” and “You and I” on the label she founded — Cabin 24 Records. With this new album, For the Dreamers, her refreshing and honest songs get a nostalgic makeover, transporting us to the cinematic dream of the 40s and 50s with tunes à la Sinatra that ooze with sensibility. 

On August 22, you’ll get to listen to her new album during a warm Candlelight concert at the heart of Sony Hall. Accompanied by a string quartet and pianist, Ingrid Michaelson will perform fresh songs — and reinvent her top hits — at the heart of the stunning venue.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear some of  Ingrid Michaelson’s new album, For the Dreamers, ahead of its release!

Born in NYC to a sculptor mother and classical composer father, Ingrid Michaelson has always lived and breathed art. Among her long list of accomplishments, a few highlights stand out, including musical score creation for Little Fires Everywhere (Emmy nomination), Tiny Beautiful Things, and Slumberkins. 

Michaelson also acted as a guest star in season 3 of Netflix’s Girls 5 Eva, starred on-stage in Broadway’s Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 and made her composer debut on Broadway, writing the music & lyrics for Tony-nominated musical, The Notebook. 

The new release For the Dreamers will feature Michaelson’s own recording of a song from that musical, an original duet, “Love Is” with Jason Mraz, covers of “What a Wonderful World,” “You Make Me Feel So Young,” and “A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes” — along with 8 original songs. 

For the Dreamers’ traditional pop sound calls for the soothing atmosphere of Candlelight concerts. Hundreds of candles dancing as Ingrid Michaelson, a string quartet and pianist perform together? Sounds like a dream indeed.

Harlem will welcome its very first Trader Joe’s on Thursday, July 25th at 123 W 125th St. According to 6sqft, the new store will open its doors to shoppers at 8am after a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Fans of the cult-followed grocery store can expect to buy all of their favorite items across the 17,800 square feet in a development that will also host a Target, Pandora and Sephora.

“We’re happy to be part of your community, and proud to offer you unique products and an exceptional shopping experience, every day,” Trader Joe’s wrote about the new location on their website. Moreover, the company shared that all of the unsold items at the Harlem location will be given to local community-based organizations, as reported by Pix 11.

Manhattan is already home to nine Trader Joe’s locations, with a total of 17 across the five boroughs. In fact, the very first to open was the 14th Street Union Square location back in 2006.

If you’ve always admired the niceties of the workers at Trader Joe’s, it’s your chance to join the team now as they’re looking to hire 100 new employees.

The Vintage Green, at 11,000 square feet, provides visitors with fine dining, delicious cocktails and live immersive art and augmented reality entertainment. This all exists in a garden oasis atmosphere, where plants and greenery juxtapose the close-up view of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building and the East River. 

With a vintage and garden aesthetic comes contemporary culinary delights, provided by Chef Chris D’Ambrosio, formerly of Bouley. These delicious mouthwatering morsels include caviar, oysters and hotdogs. Wash that all down with elevated cocktails, like a passionfruit aperol margarita, brought to you by Beverage Director Nancy Santiago. 

On top of delicious food and drink, there will be live pop-up performances all summer, from musicians and skateboarders to jugglers, breakdancers and more. Featured performers include actor Doug Gillespie (Life and Trust), actress Leslie Kraus (Sleep No More, Drowned Man), Dan Safer and award-winning magician Blaise Serra. This live immersive art, on top of augmented reality entertainment, is curated by Sylvana Levy, founder of SLX Global, and will appear on the rooftop all summer long. 

So take the elevator up to Vintage Green and feel the relaxation from escaping the city’s streets. With a cocktail in hand and a bao bun in the other, and entertainment right in front of you, you have yourself the perfect summer evening. The Vintage Green is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 5pm onwards.
