Donnie Kehr They are the only club in Hell’s Kitchen where our guests can come and see good, live music on any given night. And the wings alone are to die for.” Bar 9 ( www.bar9ny.com ) owners Steven and Michael Padernacht are born and raised New Yorkers who grew up in the Bronx and now consider their atmospheric club in Hell’s Kitchen their home. “I know it may seem cliché,” Steven says, “but we truly have a Cheers type environment here.” There’s a reason why patrons of the local and international variety both flock to Bar 9, a NYC staple for over 15 years. “People don’t think that live music and Hell’s Kitchen go together – but we have it right here, every night.” Steven considers Friday and Saturday nights to be the busiest as each week legendary Donnie Kehr (who most recently starred as Norm Waxman in the Clint Eastwood-movie adaptation of the play Jersey Boys) hosts the famed Dueling Pianos event, which just recently finished a successful run in La...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Matthew McConaughey TRUE DETECTIVE --- Last night was the start of the much-anticipated second season of HBO‘s True Detective. I loved and was constantly fascinated by Season One. The music, the visuals, the story, and the absolutely brilliant acting of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson made for some remarkable small-screen entertainment. One columnist posited that Season One was such a success, and so quickly, that rumors started up almost immediately about whether Season Two could compete. Well, it did—and it didn’t. The first episode of any series can be tough. Introducing the main characters (here, four), and weaving in the right cohesive narrative isn't always easy and doesn’t always happen quick. Here we had Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams, and Taylor Kitsch. It took time–almost the whole episode—but in the last five minutes, which featured a sit-down betw...

**** ROCK LEGEND SUPPORTS BERNIE SANDERS **** Neil Young Donald Trump's presidential announcement really caught the attention of the world on Tuesday, but not all of them were Trump supporters. The Donald's use of Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World" did not go un-noticed by the singer himself, who declared he's no fan of Trump. "Donald Trump was not authorized to use 'Rockin' In The Free World' in his presidential candidacy announcement," said a statement from Young's management company. "Neil Young, a Canadian citizen, is a supporter of Bernie Sanders for President of the United States of America." MESSAGE FROM NEIL YOUNG SENT TO TIMES SQUARE GOSSIP  "Rockin' in the Free World" was used in an announcement for a U.S. presidential candidate without my permission. A picture of me with this candidate was also circulated in conjunction with this annou...

THIS WEEK ON THE AVENUE Girl of the Week AVENUE MAGAZINE -- Our girl of the week is socialite and philanthropist Jean Shafiroff. Undoubtedly one of the most influential women in New York Society, she is also a highlight of the summer season, hosting and attending some of the most exclusive events in both New York and Southampton, like last week’s Central Park Conservancy event.

**** THE HAMPTON'S **** Flying Point Beach Sag Harbor artist and resident, Ted Asnis, is currently debuting a new series of paintings at Bobby Van's Steakhouse in Bridgehampton. The exhibition, Ted Asnis Abstracts, opened this month and will run through Labor Day weekend (though there is no formal opening reception). The show represents a new direction in the artist’s style. Long revered for his traditional open landscapes depicting beloved Hampton’s beach scenes and farmlands, Asnis's latest series of paintings reflect his current interest in Abstract Painting, through which he has also developed a new technique of applying rich layers of paint. The result is a captivating and refreshing series of canvases in a palette of vibrant colors that are larger in scale, commanding a greater presence and often incorporating Asnis's signature use of space, movement and perspective.
