Night Time Square

By Stephen Knowlton | Published: June 15, 2010
After our quiet, pensive downtown excursion, we went back to midtown and wandered time square at night. It is markedly different from being in downtown Ashland at midnight. I think there were as many people walking around Time Square as there were people sleeping in Ashland. To celebrate being in the neighborhood, we decided to [...]

World Trade Center

Not until you look at the massive buildings that were dwarfed by the towers do you realize what the scale of this was. Its a lot taller than five inches on your TV. It had to be wrenchingly loud. We didn’t talk much for a while…

Lady Libertad

No great photo here, but after Little Italy, we changed our mind about walking through Chinatown in the dark (DVDVDVDVD?ROLOX?HANBAG?), and went down to Battery Park. That is battery like a fortress, not an electronics district. From there you can walk to the water and see Ellis Island and Statue Of Liberty. Very beautiful at [...]

Little Italy

After Kelly returned from rehearsal and the guys moved their luggage to their new hotel, we headed out for dinner. We jumped the subway down to NoLita, the walked down to Little Italy. We all pulled out our phones and started looking up restaurant reviews. We eventually ended up at Il Cortile. We were seated [...]

Ashland Natives Arrive

Monday morning, 3 friends from the Ashland City music department arrived in town. After finding out that their hotel was a brothel (yes, there were ladies hangin’ out), they came and left their suitcases in our room while they booked another hotel. After that was taken care of, we went to Central Park, and Kelly [...]

Dinner at Morimoto

By Stephen Knowlton | Published: June 13, 2010
To be honest, I don’t even know where to begin this post. I suppose that I could just cut to the chase and tell you that I have just eaten what could easily be the best meal of my life. Morimoto is the namesake restaurant owned by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, and is located in [...]

Photos From Rehearsal!

By Stephen Knowlton | Published: June 13, 2010
Whoops! Only photos from outside… no pictures allowed in the synagogue. No really, there were people watching you to make sure you didn’t. The music was unbelievable, and to hear 400 voices singing together was insane.

Nerdfest! (Steve wrote that… don’t let him fool you. We were both like kids in a candy store from the moment we set foot in that place.)

Carnegie Deli

By Stephen Knowlton | Published: June 12, 2010
An awesome place to eat… so much history, and ridiculously good food. Whoever said you can’t get too much of a good thing has obviously never eaten here. Is it possible for a person to slip into a corned-beef-and-pastrami-induced coma?
