Amber & The Hood

My new neighborhood has an award-winning musical written all about it, The Heights. I live three blocks south of the G.W., so I feel like I should go see this musical to learn more about my home base.



Notice the bunch of people dancing and singing on the steps in front of an apartment building? Now I know that what woke me up at 3 a.m. last night was actually the sound of "an exhilarating journey into one of Manhattan's most vibrant communities, where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music."
