We got to spend a lovely weekend in NY during the best time of the year. Right after Thanksgiving and right before Christmas. Fall and winter landscapes and the crispness of the air, I love autumn in NYC. The other perk this year was that right across the river in New Jersey was our favorite band kicking off their 2012 winter tour. We spent Saturday exploring the village, Chelsea and Chelsea Market, Herald Square, the Highline, and of course the tree all lit up as only NYC can do. We also got to enjoy spending time with our celebrity friend from Brooklyn and enjoyed eating at the immense market that is Eataly. If you want some damn good authentic Italian food, that is your place. We had a great time and then wandered over to Jersey with high expectations. Jimmy Cliff was the opener and I am grateful to have seen another music legend in person. One of the original reggae singers didnt disappoint. More energy than I will ever see out of a 65 year old. DMB came out, the place was loud, and they crushed it! New songs sound awesome especially Rooftop, Broken Things, and Drunken Soldier. Highlight of the night was by far Carlos Malta coming out to play on Jimi Thing. I have listened to it several times after the show and it is incredible. 4 minutes plus of some impressive flute playing. I cant remember a time in my life when I got down to a flute until tonight. Carlos Malta came in from Brazil and brought a ton of energy with him as the night took off after that. We are pumped to see them again in the next couple of weeks as this was just the tour kick off.
