I have a girls' trip to New York City next month and am wondering if anyone knows where mandolin music might be played. Unfortunately, I won't be taking my own instrument, but would love to hear others play. Any genre is OK.

I can't say for sure, but somebody told me this might help . . . .

Yo check to see if Andy Statman is in town, he does a Synagogue gig!
This link will be very helpful.

Also, Google “Mona’s Monday Night Bluegrass Session”. That’s the one to catch if you can only join one!
Have fun, I travel to NYC 2x monthly (at least) for work and know the city well. Feel free to PM me if you have other questions (music related or not).

Thanks for all the responses. Currently waiting for Andy Statman to arrive at the synagogue. Been visiting with the others in his trio. They're a hoot.
Chris, thanks for the PM offer. I may take you up on it on a future trip.
Would like to thank everyone for this thread. I visit NYC often These websites are awesome -thanks for sharing !
Andy Statman was amazing. Our group of 4 stayed afterward and visited with him. One of my friends, who is also my mandolin teacher, is a professional violinist. Andy offered to let me play his mandolin. I only play from standard notation, so embarrassed myself with a really poor rendition of a G major scale. Should have played a few chords instead. He also gave me some (unsolicited) tips. I'll try to post a pic when I get home and can refer to my cheat sheet.
Kathy, please share if you find good mando music on one of your NYC trips.

Sherry, I will report any good musical finds I come upon. It’s nice to hear that Andy Statman is not only a wonderful musician but a really nice guy. I have his 2 CD album entitled Brooklyn (I think ) in my car and play it all the time. I’m hoping to get to hear him play at the synagogue too. If you get the chance please post some pictures. Love to see them
Kathy, I'm trying to figure out how to post pics.

I'll need to figure out the pics thing. Am waiting for permission from Andy to post a video or 2 I took of his trio's performance.
