Yellow House Books

Reviewed By tomamokan - New York City, United States

Each time I've been here I've found something that I was looking for, particularly in the music section. This time I bought a Cole Porter songbook in hardcover with a spiral binding inside. The macrobiotic section is great too. There's a cat that jumps up and sits on stacks of books, which gives the store a cozy feeling.

The Guthrie Center & Foundation

The epicenter of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant." The events that took place on Thanksgiving 1965 became a song, the song became a record, the record a movie. The movie was filmed in 1968 where the actual events took place on location at The Old Trinity Church, which became The Guthrie Center founded by Arlo Guthrie, and named for his parents, Woody & Marjorie Guthrie in 1991. The Center continues the Guthrie Family philosophy of a place for interfaith worship, cultural exchange especially with music and art, and of course a place to eat (during seasonal performances). 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" and the old church will celebrate in style with services and performances that will put a smile on your face and nourish your heart.

Hardly anyone there for the Thursday night hootenanny but had a great time. The 2 performers on a cold , February Thursday night were wonderful. The center oozes with good vibes.
