Kimbra Concert in New York

Elena Alvarez New Yorker, Only-Be, Things to do in New York

The city that never sleeps is getting ready for the arrival of the New Zealander Kimbra, who will perform two concerts in one of the most iconic nightclubs in Manhattan. If you happen to be in New York on the 19th and 20th of October, this is definitely a must do for you. From her early childhood, Kimbra knew she was born to be an artist. At the age of 10, she composed her own songs and performed her first concerts. At the age of 12, she sang New Zealand’s national anthem before an audience of about 30,000 people, in the opening of a rugby match and received her first guitar as a gift from her father. Although she began taking music lessons, her voice has always been a prodigious natural talent that she has developed on her own. At the age of 17, she moved to Melbourne to pursue a career in the Music industry. During this period of intense creativity and live performances, the Belgian-Australian musician Gotye watched one of her concerts and invited her to collaborate with him on one of the singles from his album Making Mirrors. The song, titled Somebody I used to know (an international success, which Youtube video reached 300 million views), marked her launch to fame and boosted the release of her first studio album called Vows in August 2011. A self-produced album, recorded between studios and her home. She spent three years in the production of this album, which success was immediate. This 22-years-old girl has dazzled both, critics and audiences alike with her dense and deep voice that... read more

Explore New York from the water

Mónica Boixeda New Yorker, Only-Be, Practical Guide - New York

Most folks don’t know it, but many of New York City’s most outstanding landmarks can be best viewed from the water. And while you can certainly hop in a cab to get around town, you’d be missing out a lot, if you didn’t take at least one trip on one of NY’s water taxis. You can choose a leisurely tour of the harbor, enjoy a romantic sunset cruise while taking in the famous skyline, or even putter along the coast hopping on and off at the various stops on the waterfront. There are all sorts of tours available – and offers that cater to every budget. You can even choose to purchase a New York Pass that will help you save money not only on your water taxi tours, but also on all the greatest attractions that the Big Apple has to offer. Most water taxi tours will let you bring your own food and beverages, so why not packing a picnic and make a day of it? Some of our favorite tours include: Hop-On/Hop-Off Why do we like this one so much? Because the Hop-On/Hop-Off service is the ride where one ticket is all you need to visit some of the greatest attractions in the city. Ride on the top deck and take in the magnificent skyline, including the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building. Although you can stay on board for the full 90 minute tour, most folks like hopping off at the four convenient piers to sightsee a little before hopping back aboard. Bike and Boat Turn your sightseeing into a full-fledged... read more
