Come for the Shake Shack burgers, stay for the excellent folk and jazz. The Madison Square Music Series supplies a serene oasis in the Flatiron district with free performances on Wednesday evenings. The 2012 schedule includes cabaret,; jazz, jazz-folk not to mention soul singer.
The free, bimonthly RiverRocks festival is a wonderful experience along the Hudson, steps from the great food offerings of the West Side and with headliners timed for sunset. Its roster highlights several independent artists: the Baltimore electronic scrabbler Dan Deacon, the lo-fi rock artist Oberhofer and the byzantine electro-pop chanteuse Grimes.
