Viewing NYC has written previously about the MTA's Arts and Design division creating the Music Under New York (MUNY) program which features over 350 musicians, groups and performers in sponsored Subway performances across the City.

One of these 350 is Cover Story, a group of 5 singers and an accompanying stand-up bassist, sings classic doo-wop songs from the 40's, 50's and early 60's. I was lucky enough to be passing through the 34th Street Harold Square station yesterday when my finely-tuned, indifferent New York City ear canal picked up the sweet sound of a 4-part vocal harmony. As I approached the music, it became clear that this wasn't your average group of busking subway musicians. Whoever's job it is to curate the 350 MUNY selections should get a raise.

The song Cover Story is singing here is the 1960 Sam Cooke classic "Chain Gang"

Local YouTuber ActionKid recently filmed a walk though Fort Tryon Park, The Cloisters, Fort Washington Avenue, and Broadway in Upper Manhattan, showing you exactly what it's like in Springtime. Check it out!

Take a walk with me through Fort Tryon Park, The Cloisters and Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan. Fort Tryon Park offers sweeping views of the George Washington Bridge and New Jersey. Many flowers are blooming due to the spring season. The Cloisters , part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, specializes in medieval European art. I then take walks on Fort Washington Avenue and Broadway, visiting the neighborhood of Washington Heights.

Good morning! Wishing you a happy Wednesday, April 24th, 2019 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.
