an interview with the Hold Steady's Tad Kubler (on Brooklyn shows, crowd sourcing, the new LP, Cheap Trick & more)
The Hold Steady's Tad Kubler (in 2008) (more by Chris La Putt)
Brooklyn's own rock prophets, The Hold Steady, recently played another sold out hometown show at Music Hall of Williamsburg. The critically lauded quartet will release their sixth album, Teeth Dreams (Washington Square) on March 25. Two of its songs are already streaming online. It's a new step for the band both from a label perspective (they were previously on Vagrant) and from a creative one as well. The band's last full-length release was 2010's Heaven is Whenever, providing the longest duration between albums since The Hold Steady's inception. BrooklynVegan spoke to guitarist and founding member Tad Kubler about the new record, the pros and cons of playing Brooklyn, and the band's PledgeMusic Campaign.
BV: With Teeth Dreams coming up, this is the longest the Hold Steady has gone between albums. What's the direction like for you guys on the new record?
Tad: I don't think it's radically a different direction. I think with every new record, one of the goals I always have is to try to be more musical. You try to write better songs. And when I say "better," I mean when you're playing music, there's something you stumble across occasionally, and you have some kind of emotional response to it. And when people hear something, they'll respond to it. I guess when I say "writing better songs" it just means being more concise or something like that than having sort of self-indulgent stuff happening. There's some stuff obviously that you do because you enjoy it, it's fun, and you like doing it, and there are other things you do because you have a connection or reaction to it. Anybody that tries to do something creative or tries to grow as an artist - those are the moments you try to look for.

Cheap Girls announce new LP, share song, touring w/ Against Me! (both playing BV-SXSW); The Hold Steady post lyric video
by Andrew Sacher
Michigan's Cheap Girls have signed with Xtra Mile Recordings (who put out the new Against Me! album, and is also home to Frank Turner, Tim Barry, etc) for the followup to 2012's Laura Jane Grace-produced Giant Orange. The new album, titled Famous Graves, is due out on May 13 and was produced by Rick Johnson, who did their first two records. On its first single, "Knock Me Over," Cheap Girls are still worshipping those same '90s alt-rock radio and power pop bands (Smoking Popes, Lemonheads, etc), and their songwriting continues to progress as well. The song just premiered over at The A.V. Club, and you can check it out below.
Cheap Girls will be doing some touring ahead of the album's release, including a run with Against Me! and Laura Stevenson and the Cans. As we just mentioned, both Cheap Girls and Against Me! will play our official BV SXSW showcase with Touche Amore, The Front Bottoms, and more. In April, they'll do a short run with The Hold Steady. No NYC dates (yet?), but you can check out their full tour schedule below.
Speaking of The Hold Steady, since we last spoke, they released another single from their upcoming album, Teeth Dreams, which is due out on March 25 via Washington Square. The new track "Spinners," follows first single "I Hope This Whole Thing Didn't Frighten You," and like that one it's another dose of their literate rock, with some studio gloss courtesy of Foo Fighters/Ghost producer Nick Raskulinecz. Watch the lyric video below.

The Hold Steady at Pier 26 in July (more by Tracy Allison)
The Hold Steady are planning a new album and "endless touring" for 2014, and though details are still forthcoming on most of that, they did just announce their first eight tour dates of the new year. This run, which they're calling the "Nights Go On Forever" tour, includes a Brooklyn show on February 6 at Music Hall of Williamsburg, which, like the Pennsylvania date the next day, doubles as one of the band's 10 year anniversary shows.
Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (12/13) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (12/11) at noon, and if you purchased the 10th anniversary show pledge in the band's new PledgeMusic campaign then you're already set to go. (That particular pledge is all gone but there's still plenty more and the band are at 208% of their goal as of this post.)
All upcoming dates are listed, along with a video, below...

The Hold Steady launch PledgeMusic campaign in honor of late fan club member (5-song covers EP included)
The Hold Steady at Pier 26 in July (more by Tracy Allison)
Fans of The Hold Steady may be familiar with their fan club, The Unified Scene. One of the best-known members of The Unified Scene was Mike Van Jura (aka Jersey Mike), who passed away last year, and in honor of him, The Hold Steady have launched a PledgeMusic campaign to help better The Unified Scene and offer fans a 5-song covers EP. I'll let the band take it from here...
Hey everyone,There's a number of rewards for different pledge amounts, and every pledge includes a digital download of the new EP. More details here.
A few years back, some of our biggest and most dedicated fans created an organization called The Unified Scene. We have seen members of The Unified Scene at our shows all over the world and it's flattering and exciting to see the community that they created.
One of the best known, most motivated and most vocal members of The Unified Scene was Mike Van Jura, or as he's better known, "Jersey Mike". Mike was the unofficial leader of The Unified Scene and handled a lot of internet and message board duties for us just as a function of his fandom.
Unfortunately, Jersey Mike passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in November 2012. Like many members of our audience, Mike had crossed from being a fan of the band to a real friend. All the members of the Hold Steady and The Unified Scene felt the loss immensely. We miss him.
The Hold Steady has always been about community and inclusiveness. As we often say at the end of our shows, "We are all The Hold Steady". We believe that.
With a new record coming out in 2014, we want to work with our fans to create a new and improved version of The Unified Scene. We want you to join us. By pledging, you will join The Unified Scene fan club, where you will get insider access, exclusive music, members-only content, pre-sale ticket opportunities and more.
For starters, we are recording a 5 song covers EP.....right now! This will be released on 12" vinyl (with download code) sometime in 2014. This will only be available to members of The Unified Scene. By pledging, you will also unlock access to updates and clues to what songs we are covering and scenes from the sessions.
Furthermore, we are offering some other exclusive incentives such as hand written lyrics, pep talks, private interactions with The Hold Steady, and much more. With the holidays coming up, these could also be great gifts for a THS fan in your life.
And don't worry.....we'll be adding even more packages in the coming days and weeks.
A portion of every pledge will be donated to the K+L Guardian Foundation to remember a great fan and friend, and to help the two young children he left behind.
We are looking forward to sharing our new record with you early next year and hope you will pledge to join The Unified Scene and become a part of something we are very excited about. And remember, we are ALL The Hold Steady.
Stay Positive!
The Gaslight Anthem & The Hold Steady (joined by Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus) @ Pier 26 (pics, setlists, video)

The Gaslight Anthem / The Hold Steady @ Pier 26, 7/28/2013
The Gaslight Anthem just brought their tour through NYC this past weekend for three NYC shows. We already posted pictures of the Irving Plaza show, and now we've got a set from their Sunday show (7/28) on Pier 26 with The Hold Steady.
Despite this being the show where fans chanting "BRUUUUUUCE" led Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon to write a blog post addressing their identity as a band, it otherwise went over really well. The Hold Steady, who helped lay the groundwork for bands like The Gaslight Anthem, weren't treated as "openers" by any means; they played a 16-song set (about an hour), and got tons of love from the crowd. Their set was most heavy on Boys and Girls in America and Stay Positive, and also included some new songs from an album Craig Finn told the crowd the band has been working on. And as an added bonus, Titus Andronicus frontman Patrick Stickles (whose birthday was that day) joined the band to sing lead vocals on "Cattle and the Creeping Things" (video of that below).
When The Gaslight Anthem were playing their own songs, and neither the band nor the crowd were talking about covers, the crowd was loving it. Sure, songs like "The '59 Sound" and "45" got the biggest reactions, but this was really a crowd who seemed to know every word to almost every song. They played almost all of the newest album, Handwritten, including kicking the show off anthemically with its title track, and getting the crowd grabbing their friends and swaying on "Too Much Blood." There were older favorites played too, like "Great Expectations and "We Came to Dance," and all this talk of covers aside, it seemed like everyone on and off stage had a good time during the set-ending cover of The Who's "Baba O'Riley."
More pictures and the setlists from both bands, and that video of Patrick Stickles joining The Hold Steady, below...

members of The Hold Steady, Spoon, Primitive Weapons & more opening Midwestern-themed bar in Brooklyn
A new Midwestern-themed bar, Lake Street, is opening next Tuesday (7/9) in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The bar is run by Brooklyn musicians who originally hailed from the Midwest, including Hold Steady drummer Bobby Drake, onetime Freedom Fighters frontman Frank Bevan, Primitive Weapons bassist Eric Odness, and Spoon bassist Rob Pope. A press release about the new bar reads:
Comprised of four Midwesterners and a Northern Irishman, Lake St. brings its low-key anthem to 706 Manhattan Ave. (btwn Norman and Meserole) in the form of a classic Midwestern tavern meets local neighborhood hangout. Wanting to create a bar in Brooklyn that reminded them of the bars they loved growing up in the Midwest the space has a decidedly old bar feel as evidenced by the 80 year old bowling lane bar top and checkerboard floor. The partnership team includes members of indie rock stalwarts Spoon, The Hold Steady, Primitive Weapons, W/O., and pop culture craze boy band, The Wanted. Lake St. offers a full liquor bar, twelve taps of locals, seasonals, favorites, and an array of Midwestern canned and bottled brews. Look for special guest DJ's on selected nights on their website, twitter, and Instagram.--
The Gaslight Anthem at Deluna Festival 2012 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
As mentioned, The Gaslight Anthem are going on a tour this year which hits the NYC area for shows in NJ this May and a Long Island show in June, but didn't previously include anything actually in NYC. That's changed now because the band have just announced two big summer shows happening at Pier 26 @ Hudson River Park on July 26 and 28. The first night is being opened by their Jersey punk forefathers The Bouncing Souls and the second night is being opened by their Springsteen worshipper forefathers The Hold Steady (who also play one of The Gaslight Anthem's NJ shows). Tickets for both Pier 26 shows go on sale Friday (4/12) at noon with a fan presale starting Tuesday (4/9) at 10 AM and an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (4/10) at 10 AM.
The Gaslight Anthem's other upcoming NYC-area dates include The Stone Pony in Asbury Park on 5/25 with The Hold Steady (sold out) and 5/26 with The Felice Brothers, and The Paramount in Huntington, NY on 6/9 with Tift Merritt. Tickets for the Stone Pony show with Felice Brothers and the Paramount show are still available.
Updated dates are listed, along with a video, below...

The Hold Steady to perform "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" for 'Game of Thrones' Season 3 (which returns this month)
by Bill Pearis
The Hold Steady @ Beekman Beer Garden, Sept. 2011 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Last year, after The National recorded "The Rains of Castamere" for Season 2 of HBO's Game of Thrones, we wondered if Bon Iver might, Season 3, do "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" which is another popular song sung often in George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice & Fire novels. Turns out GoT producers have tapped The Hold Steady to record a version of that tavern favorite, that features music written by the show's composer, Ramin Djawadi.
Audio hasn't been released yet and they haven't announced when it will be used but, if I had to guess, it will be used in Season 3's penultimate episode which is being scripted by George R.R. Martin himself. The track, will, however, be released as a 7" single for Record Store Day. The third season of Game of Thrones (based on the first half of Martin's novel, A Storm of Swords, maybe the most action-packed of the books) premieres March 31 and the trailer can be watched below.

"Lucero just tearing up Brooklyn Bowl, they may be the best band in America right now... yes they are that good" - DJ Rich Russo (The Peak)
Lucero at Brooklyn Bowl (via John Brown)
Lucero kicked off their four-night New Year's Even run with Brooklyn Bowl shows on Friday (12/28) and Saturday (12/29) before hitting Boston with The Hold Steady on Sunday (12/30). Videos from both nights are below.
Then on New Year's Eve, Lucero joined The Hold Steady to ring in the new year at Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ. After The Hold Steady played "Barfruit Blues" it turned midnight and they welcomed in the new year, continuing with the bulk of their set in 2013. The Hold Steady's set was interrupted due to a crowd member who needed to be rushed to a hospital, but they picked things back up soon after. Their setlist and a video from that night are below. Comedian Kurt Braunohler opened the night.
All videos and setlist are below...

Love it or loathe it, New Year's Eve is coming. Here are some of this year's NYC concert options, of which there are many.
One of the biggest shows of the night is Coldplay and Jay-Z at Barclays Center. If you've seen pictures of Coldplay's tour this year, you know they have this bluetooth controlled, light-up wristbands that (no matter how you feel about their music) makes for a spectacular interactive experience. And certainly Jay-Z will throw a good party at his own house.

Craig Finn lists his top 10 albums of 2012, appearing at 'Soundtrack Series' at LPR (and New Year's Eve in NJ)
Craig Finn w/ The Hold Steady in NYC in 2011 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Listen to the references he makes in his lyrics or read an interview with him and you know that Craig Finn (of The Hold Steady) has a wide range of taste, and that isn't lost on his list of the top ten records of 2012, which bounces from underground rapper El-P to folk legend Bill Fay to non-stop rockers Japandroids. Of the list, Craig says, "A lot of my friends made really great records this year. To keep myself sane, I've created a list of my top ten records by people I don't know personally. Compiled quickly, probably with some ommisions." You can check the whole thing out below.
Craig will be taking part of the Soundtrack Series in NYC at Le Poisson Rouge this Friday (11/30) along with Cynthia Kaplan, Jenny Rubin, Daniel Ralston, Steve Zimmer, and host Dana Rossi. The event description reads, "Five artists-writers, comics, actors and musicians-tell the stories they forever connect with songs from their past. There's the song, the story behind the song, and the story inspired by the song. We're the third one." Craig will be doing his on "I Will Dare" by the Replacements. Tickets for that are on sale now.
Meanwhile watch Craig on the Chris Gethard show TONIGHT (11/28).
As mentioned, The Hold Steady will play Wellmont Theatre on New Year's Eve with Lucero. Since we last spoke, comedian Kurt Braunohler has been added to that bill as well. Tickets for the show are still available.

Cameo will be open on Halloween too, hosting both Big Terrific comedy show on Wednesday early, and then later The Hold Steady's Dan Neustadt and some of his friends will be covering Michael Jackson's Thriller in its entirety, part of his "Off the Record" series.
Big Freedia at Brooklyn Bowl is also still happening as of this post. Same with World Inferno Friendship Society at Warsaw,
Lucero playing two nights at Brooklyn Bowl plus New Year's Eve at the Wellmont with The Hold Steady (dates)
Lucero at BV-SXSW 2012 (more by Tim Griffin)
The Hold Steady and Lucero, who have a history together and are no strangers to New Year's shows in the NYC area, will be teaming up for a NYE (12/31) show at Wellmont Theatre. Tickets for what is sure to be a very drunk and wild night go on sale Friday (9/14) at noon.
UPDATE: Lucero are also playing two nights at Brooklyn Bowl a few days before NYE (12/28-29). Individual tickets (12/28 and 12/29) as well as two-day passes go on sale Friday, September 21 at noon.
The Wellmont show is yet another addition to the growing amount of NYE options in NYC and the surrounding area. So far, options include Nas at Radio City, My Morning Jacket in Boston, and They Might Be Giants' 3-night run at MHOW. The Disco Biscuits are also doing a NYE run in NYC, with four nights at Best Buy Theater from December 26-29 and NYE (12/31) at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Tickets for all 5 Disco Biscuits shows (and a 4-day pass option for the Best Buy Theater shows) go on sale Friday (9/14) at 1 PM, with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (9/12) at 10 AM and an AEG Live presale starting Thursday (9/13) at 11 AM for the Best Buy Theater shows.
Lucero recently made a 10+ minute mini-documentary about the making of this year's Women & Work album, and also recently made what is their first music video ever for that album's title track. About the video, frontman Ben Nichols said, "Our fans have made videos over the years, we've never made one ourselves until now. Why? Basically because we're unorganized and lazy." You can watch their mini-documentary and the music video, along with a list of Lucero dates and Hold Steady dates, below.

Beach Day at Knitting Factory, June 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Beach Day are staying busy on the road this year, having already visited NYC a couple times, and are preparing for another East Coast tour, that will bring them here for two shows next month: September 14 at Pianos and September 16 at Cameo. Tickets to the Cameo show are on sale now.
The Cameo show is with Blonds, who, as mentioned, will play the Rock Shop even sooner on August 28. That show, presented by Brooklyn Brewery, is the "Brooklyn, Sweden Sendoff" with Telepathe, So-So Glos and Teen Commandments all of whom will play the Brooklyn, Sweden Festival in Stockholm and Malmö over Labor Day Weekend (8/31 - 9/1). Blonde Redhead, The Hold Steady, Cults, Crystal Stilts, Phosphorescent, Au Revoir Simone, Dum Dum Girls, DIIV, Twin Sister, Widowspeak, Maluca, Prince Rama, Caveman, and DJs Finger on the Pulse will also be there, so if you're wondering why Williamsburg seems empty that weekend, that's why.
Tickets to the send-off party at The Rock Shop are on sale now: it's $15 bucks but includes free Brooklyn Brewery beer from 7:30 - 9:30 PM.
A flyer for the Brooklyn, Sweden Sendoff party, plus Beach Day and Blonds tour dates, are below.

Happy Birthday Jerry Garcia: indie musicians participating in online streaming tribute concert +++ other music celebrations
Jerry Garcia, who died in 1995, would have been 70 years old today (8/1) and, as you might imagine, there are some celebrations happening all over the country. Probably the world.
Here in NYC, you can head to Beekman Beer Garden tonight (8/1) to catch 7 Walkers (featuring Bill Kreutzmann of the Grateful Dead, George Porter, Jr. of the Meters, Papa Mali and Matt Hubbard) and Dead satellite musician Steve Kimock with Bernie Worrell, Andy Hess & John Morgan Kimock, and Yarn. Tickets for that show are still available.
Perhaps more interesting to regular readers of this site is a concert happening on Friday (8/3) that will be broadcast on the internet from Bob Weir's TRI Studios. Dubbed "Move Me Brightly: Celebrating Jerry Garcia's 70th Birthday," the tribute features Cass McCombs; Craig Finn and Tad Kubler of The Hold Steady; Chris Tomson of Vampire Weekend; former Grateful Dead/Jerry Garcia Band vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux; Jim Lauderdale; and Sam Cohen and Josh Kaufman of Yellowbirds , plus more usual suspects like Mike Gordon (Phish); Joe Russo (Furthur); Neal Casal (Chris Robinson Brotherhood/Ryan Adams & The Cardinals); Jeff Chimenti (Furthur); Jonathan Wilson; and Harper Sim. Amiable actor Luke Wilson will emcee the show and Bob Weir will be there too.
The tribute concert starts at 6:30 PM on Friday (8/3) and can be streamed via TRI Studios website or Yahoo Music. Bob Weir talks a little (very little) about the tribute in a video which you can watch below.
In other Dead news, on September 1 the band will release Spring 1990, an 18-CD box set featuring six complete shows from the tour of the set's title. If you don't want to plunk down $200 for that, Rhino will release a double-CD compilation culled from those recordings. You can watch a video of Bob Weir talking about that time period in the band's career below as well.

CBGB Fest starts today: Hold Steady, CYHSY, Superchunk & more confirmed for Times Square Show; Robbie leaves CYHSY
The CBGB Festival starts today (7/5) and runs through Sunday (7/8) at over 30 venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn. We've known that they were staging a big outdoor Times Square concert on Saturday (7/7) for a little while and guessed that Superchunk, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and The Hold Steady were going play it. The whole lineup has since been confirmed. Superchunk, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and The Hold Steady are in fact playing, and they'll be joined by Duff McKagan's Loaded, Upper West, Zulu Wave and GLINT. The stages will be on Broadway at 46th Street & 51st Street and the free show runs from noon to 6 PM this Saturday (7/7). In addition to the music there will be food, drinks, music shop booths, and music themed activities for people of all ages.
As mentioned, the festival kicks off today and Krist Novoselic will give the keynote speech at Landmark Sunshine Cinema at noon. Update: That happened. here's a picture:
Krist Novoselic giving keynote speech (photo via A.M. Saddler)
There's tons of other shows at CBGB Festival too, like the big lineup of punk veterans playing Bowery Electric tonight (7/5), which Richard Lloyd unfortunately had to drop off. Fidlar plays The Studio at Webster Hall tonight (7/5) with The Pinz, The Suicide Bitches, and The Wicked Tomorrow (tickets). Plus, there's many more too.
Most of the other shows during CBGB Fest do cost money, and you can either buy tickets for individual shows (if not already sold out) or buy a music pass ($89). The full schedule with set times is online. There's also a film festival going on (schedule), panel discussions, and a "spirits festival."
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah in Philly in 2011 (more by Colin Kerigan)
The Times Sqaure show also marks the last for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah with guitarist Robbie Guertin who wrote to fans in an email:
Being a member of Clap has been an incredible experience, but I have decided to move on and see what's next. I will continue to make music with my other band, Radical Dads, pursue miscellaneous artistic endeavors, and also grow some vegetables. I am excited to see what else might come my way. Maybe some tomatoes?Hopefully he's got those tomatoes already planted or he may have to wait till next season. Radical Dads next NYC show is July 15 at Big Snow Buffalo Lodge with Ovlov, Disco Doom, Dead Stars, and Green Is Green.
Meanwhile, after CBGB Fest, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will take a bit of a break and are then heading out on a tour with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes this September. That tour will see the band hitting up cities in the US and Canada, but unfortunately none in the Northeast. A list of all dates on that tour is below.
Continue reading "CBGB Fest starts today: Hold Steady, CYHSY, Superchunk & more confirmed for Times Square Show; Robbie leaves CYHSY"
Not too much has changed on the CBGB Festival schedule since we last spoke, but we found out and have confirmed that the multi-day (July 5-8), multi-venue, multi-genre NYC festival will host a free, multi-stage event in Times Square on Saturday, July 7th. The outdoor Times Square show, in addition to live music, will also have food, drinks, music shop booths, and music themed activations for people of all ages. We can't say WHO is playing in Times Square, but we do know that unlike Fidlar, Redd Kross and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., the following CBGB Festival bands are still venueless: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Hold Steady, and Superchunk. Stay tuned for more info.
That said, it's pretty impressive that they pulled this off and it's definitely a rarity to be able to host a big, outdoor event, let alone a rock show like this in Times Square. It has also proved me wrong, at least to the person I was talking to at NXNE in Toronto when I said, "they would never do anything like this in NYC".
The Hold Steady touring in June (dates); Craig Finn playing with The Baseball Project at City Winery
Craig Finn with The Hold Steady at Mohawk (more by Tim Griffin)
Hey Everyone,That Hold Steady tour in June does not currently include a NYC date -- though they will play the XPoNential Music Festival in Camden, NJ in July -- but we do get frontman Craig Finn, who will team up with alt-rock all stars The Baseball Project for a show at City Winery on July 5 as part of the CBGB Festival. Tickets are on on sale now.
I hope all is good. I've been enjoying my time at home writing music and seeing a bunch of shows. Thank you Nick Lowe, Wu Lyf, Titus Andronicus, Archers of Loaf, and Bruce Springsteen for some great times.
Besides going to shows, I'm also going to play quite a few coming up. The Hold Steady has a very fun tour in June...
I've also got a few solo shows. The first two are in Chicago on June 2...
Also, I will be playing a show with The Baseball Project on July 5 at City Winery in NYC. I had a great time performing and hanging out with these guys last year. This should be a great show...
For all the solo sets, it will just be me and a guitar. I'll tell you some stories and sing you some songs. This is the first time I've done sets like this, and I'm looking forward to it.
Hope to see you soon.
The show is one of three current dates for The Baseball Project -- all in the Northeast. Below, you can check out those listed dates, a listing of all Hold Steady dates and a video of The Baseball Project's full set from The Met last month.

Hello Everyone
Can anyone recommend a hotel in Playa del Carmen on or near 5th Ave.? We want to walk to restaurants and bars from our hotel.
Hotel in Playa del Carmen
Hello Everyone
6 Replies | Jump to last reply |
Report Abuse
There are dozens. We have enjoyed the Posada Mariposa, and the Hotel Banana. They are both on 5th ave on the northern (nicer) end of town. There are tons of restaurants and bars up and down 5th ave, and Mamita's Beach is close to both of these hotels.
Report Abuse
I have stayed at Hotel Cielo several times in the last 4 yrs., and now that we have a condo in Playa we send our extra guests to Hotel Cielo.. Love it. Great value, great service, nice restaurant attached, nice Mexican ambience, and very clean large rooms with good ventilation/ ceiling fans and AC. Quiet, although it is just off of 5th Ave on Calle 4. One block straight down to the beach.
Report Abuse
We stayed at La Tortuga Hotel on 10th Ave, very centrally located but a block from the craziness of 5th Ave. I really liked it. Extremely tasteful and amazing customer service, insanely clean. If you end up staying there, ask for a room toward the northern edge of the property -- the southern edge abuts the loud and obnoxious club Coco Bongo and the noise travels. Didn't really notice it in our room at the northern edge.
Report Abuse
Renting a condo may also be an option. There are many in the Playacar area and within walking distance from 5th, but quiet at night. VRBO and other sites can give you options. (If you do this, consider cross checking your unit on Trip Advisor just to be sure -- not all units within the same complex are maintained the same.
Report Abuse
Not all hotels on 5th Avenue have direct beach access if that is important to you. Many allow a free chair at a beach club within a few blocks walk.
We have stayed Playa Palms, which is right on the beach. However, the beach in that area really isn't all that swimmable since the locals tie up their fishing boats there. That hotel also does not have a restaurant on site. We found it difficult to find places that served breakfast on 5th Avenue. We have been to Playa del Carmen x 3 and other areas of Mexico several times. The food on 5th Avenue really is hit and miss. I would do alot of research here for recommended restaurants and many will say "get off 5th Avenue" for the better food.
We have also stayed a the Royal Playa del Carmen, which is an AI adult's only hotel within a 5 minute walk to 5th Avenue. Of all our trips, that hotel is still the best for food and service.
Check out Loco Gringo for accomendations:

I stayed at Mosquito Blue once which I really liked a lot, and if you get a room in the right location, it isn't too super noisy http://www.mosquitoblue.com/ It's not right on the beach, I don't think I'd want a hotel right on 5th avenue.
10th avenue is a real major thoroughfare BTW. It is one block from 5th in a weird system (major avenues are 5th, 10th, 15th, they don't have each one), but it is a long block.
Now I stay north of ave Constituyentes where it's a little less crazy, but it still isn't a long walk at all if you want to go there (the main part you are thinking of on 5th ave).

If you hate cleaning your slow cooker, and I certainly do because it is cumbersome, then these are for you. Reynolds makes these slow cooker liners that are great for simple meals that done require any stirring. If the recipe does require stirring, I've found they can tear. But, hey, it's still an easier clean up. Found in most grocery stores for under $3.

Slow cooking to a "quick" dinner
Gloria Knox of the Boothby Inn and I were talking the other day when she proposed a solution to a problem that was plaguing both of us.
"I need a wife," she said.
"Me too," I agreed.
Both of us are wives, but the business of daily living means sometimes things just don't get done. In my case, sometimes it's dinner on the table at a reasonable hour, or at all.
When my brothers were bachelors climbing corporate ladders, they regaled us with tales of what their dinners were like. For one it was a loaf of Italian bread, split in half, then coated with spaghetti sauce, eaten over the sink to avoid washing dishes, with his tie flipped over the shoulder to spare it the mess. For another it was a stop at the grocery store at midnight to pick up a frozen dinner, a bottle of liquor and a couple of magazines – only one was finished in the morning.
These stories were terribly funny, but I didn't get it. When I was first married, spending an hour or so in the kitchen making dinner was no big deal. I had a 9-5 union job in another city.
Fast forward several years, several jobs and a child. I get it. Whether you are a bachelor with long working hours or a mom shuttling kids to various activities after school, we all would like to come home to a nice dinner now and again.
Ideally this would be prepared by someone else. Throw in a couple of self-help books and you'll realize there is no magic friend/partner/husband willing to pony up to the task.
You are in charge of your own destiny – in this case dinner.
But there is a magic friend, of sorts, who can help you get dinner on the table with about 15 minutes of prep work. Haul out that slow cooker and think about:
Eggplant Parmesan
Steak in Mushroom Wine Sauce
Cornish Hens with Cherry Sauce
Leg of Lamb
Most of these recipes were inspired by Crockery Cookery by Mabel Hoffman. It's a good reference book to have on hand. But after testing her recipes, I've made some substantial changes to up the wow factor without adding extra effort.
Eggplant Parmesan
1 medium eggplant, sliced into ½ inch coins and then halved
2 tablespoons seasoned breadcrumbs
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
½ cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 can artichoke hearts, rinsed and quartered
1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, grated
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Coat bottom of slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer half of eggplant on bottom, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the breadcrumbs, add half the can of tomatoes, half mozzarella cheese and half the artichoke hearts. Repeat. Top with Parmesan cheese and pour chicken broth on top.
Cook on high for 4 hours.
Serve with pasta or as a side dish to chicken.
Steak in Mushroom Wine Sauce
2 pounds beef flank steak
½ cup white wine
1 tablespoon tamari soy
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 cup chopped onion
5 ounces fresh Shitake mushrooms, sliced
4 ounces crème fraiche or sour cream
Score flank steak by cutting cross hatches on both sides of the beef, about 2 inches apart. Place in slow cooker. Cover with onions. Combine wine, soy, garlic, beef broth and ketchup. Pour on top. Add mushrooms Cook on low for 6 hours.
When you get home, remove meat from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board until ready to serve.
Add crème fraiche to sauce in cooker and up the heat to high for the 20 or so minutes it takes you to get settled (but no longer).
Slice meat across the grain and serve with sauce.
This would work well with buttered noodles and a salad.
Cornish Hens with Cherry Sauce
4 Cornish hens, defrosted
1 cup red cherry jam
¼ cup cognac
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup wild rice
3 cups water
Sprinkle salt and pepper over Cornish hens. Put one cup of the wild rice in the slow cooker and add water. Top with Cornish hens. Spread cherry jam on top and add cognac and lemon juice.
Cook over low heat for 6 hours. If you would like crisp skin on the hens, pop them under the broiler for a couple of minutes. Then serve.
Leg of Lamb
1 boneless leg of lamb, about 5 pounds
2 cloves garlic, sliced
½ cup kosher salt
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons whole peppercorns
1 cup mint sprigs
2 cups red wine
Heat enough water to cover the lamb in a large pot, add salt, sugar, peppercorns and mint. Allow to cool. Cut small slits in spots on the lamb and insert garlic. Put garlic in cooled brine mixture overnight. Remove the next morning and drain.
Put lamb into slow cooker. Cover with wine. Cook on low for about 9 hours. If you can get home at lunch, turn.
Slice thinly.
This is nice served with:
Tzatziki sauce
1 cup Greek whole milk yogurt, plain
½ English cucumber, grated
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon mint, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Combine all ingredients. Chill. Serve.

Tamir Sapir
|Tamir Sapir
|Temur Sepiashvili
Tbilisi, Georgian SSR, USSR
|September 26, 2014 (aged 67)
|Kings Point, New York[2]
|United States
|Real estate mogul
|Net worth
| US $ 1.4 billion (est.)
(February 2010)[1]
|Married, 5 children
Tamir Sapir (Russian: Тимур Сапир, birth name Temur Sepiashvili, Georgian: თემურ სეფიაშვილი); 1946/1947 – September 26, 2014) was an American immigrant from the former Soviet republic of Georgia who made millions bartering fertilizer and oil with the Soviets in the 1980s; he took most of his money and put it into New York real-estate. He was included in The 400 Richest Americans List of September 2008 (#246), with a net worth of $1.9 billion. In March 2010, he ranked 721st on Forbes' list of billionaires, with a net worth of $1.4 billion.
Early life[edit]
Temur Sepiashvili was born in 1946 or 1947. In the early 1970s he studied journalism at Tbilisi State University but left to earn money to support his family because of his father's death. His business was to fill out emigration forms and other documents for Soviet Jews.[citation needed]
He, his wife and his mother had emigrated to Israel in 1973, around the time of the Yom Kippur War. Sapir (he changed his last name in Israel) moved to the United States. He spoke no English and became a taxicab driver in New York City. Saving up to buy an electronics store, he catered primarily to Russian clientele. Eventually he made contacts with the Soviet contingent to the United Nations in New York, and traded electronics for oil contracts, which he then sold to American companies. Investing the profits in Manhattan real estate in the 1990s, he became a billionaire by 2002.[3] Sapir has been referred to as America's "billionaire cabbie".
Sapir brought a lawsuit in Russia against a Moscow oil refinery after it violated the terms of a contract by failing to transfer oil products for delivered equipment. Sapir won the case in 2005, but received none of the $28 million the Moscow company was ordered to pay.[4]
Tamir Sapir died on September 26, 2014, aged 67.[5]

Cayman Islands
Within Corporate and commercial, Maples and Calder is a first tier firm,
Maples and Calder's practice is 'truly outstanding'. The team advised Herbalife on its issue of $1bn convertible senior notes to several banks, including Credit Suisse Securities (USA), HSBC Securities (USA) and Morgan Stanley; and acted for Amedeo in the $8.3bn order of 20 Airbus A380 wide-body aircraft. Paul Lumsden is the Cayman corporate and commercial head, Alasdair Robertson is the 'proactive' global finance head, and Mark Matthews is the 'consistently impressive' Cayman finance head. Wanda Ebanks is 'extremely responsive and knowledgeable'; and Simon Firth, Matthew Gardner and Kieran Walsh are 'strategically thinking advisers'.

Of counsel Sherice Arman is 'particularly terrific; she has particular expertise in yacht finance that is almost unique in the Western Hemisphere'.
Within Dispute resolution, Maples and Calder is a first tier firm,
Maples and Calder's dispute resolution practice remains focused on the financial services and commercial arenas. The team acted for the provisional liquidators in the headline restructuring of Suntech Power Holdings, a solar panel manufacturer with operations in the PRC, US and Europe; and acted for Renova and its principal, one of Russia's wealthiest and most prominent businessmen, in a shareholder dispute concerning the misappropriation of world-famous brand name Fabergé. Other highlights included acting for five Limited partners in Cybernaut Growth Fund, a Cayman Islands exempted Limited partnership that invested in operating companies in China, which successfully petitioned the Grand Court for an order that the partnership be wound up under the Court's just and equitable jurisdiction. Global litigation head Aristos Galatopoulos, Mac Imrie and Colin McKie QC are 'truly brilliant practitioners who are great to have in your corner'. Martin Livingston, Matthew Crawford and James Eldridge are also highly recommended.
Within Insurance/reinsurance, Maples and Calder is a first tier firm,
Maples and Calder is 'a great practice that provides excellent quality in a New York City- firm style'. The group offers specialists in alternative risk transfer, such as catastrophe bond vehicles and other insurance-linked products, as well as captive insurance vehicles; and it is experienced in establishing insurance companies, insurance management, and broker operations. The team advised Oxbridge Re Holdings as to Cayman Islands law on its Nasdaq listing. Tim Frawley 'makes your problem his problem, providing solutions in a timely and efficient manner'. Frawley is experienced in the formation of new insurance companies, corporate and regulatory advice for insurance company clients, and alternative risk transfer structures. Standing out for catastrophe bond transactions, John Dykstra is 'an excellent attorney'. Abraham Thoppil is also a key adviser.
Within Investment funds, Maples and Calder is a first tier firm,
Maples and Calder's 'responsiveness is unparalleled in the offshore market'. The practice provided Cayman Islands legal advice to Florida-based Sun Capital Partners, in the launch of Sun Capital Partners VI, a mid-market buyout fund targeting commitments of $3bn. It also advised Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co on Cayman Islands law in the formation and launch of KKR Asian Fund II, which with a final closing of $6bn is the largest-ever pan-Asian private equity fund. Cayman investment funds head Nicholas Butcher has a 'true passion for client service', Jon Fowler is global investment funds leader, and Iain McMurdo is global private equity head. Philip Millward 'provides an excellent service' and Gwyneth Rees is 'impressive'. Other key advisers include Henry Smith, David Brooks and Paul Lumsden in addition to Jonathan Green, Tim Frawley and Michael Richardson.
Within Real estate, Maples and Calder is a second tier firm,
Maples and Calder recently acted for Solid Rock Advisors in the purchase of the Treasure Island Resort, including acting for the purchaser in government negotiations, the acquisition financing, and construction law issues. Associate George Loutas heads the property and construction group.
Within Trusts/private client, Maples and Calder is a first tier firm,
'A standout adviser for complex trust matters', Maples and Calder's team 'combines commercial acumen with excellent specialist legal advice in a time-efficient and value-for-money way'. The team advises global financial institutions, foreign governments and some of the world's wealthiest individuals on Cayman Islands private wealth structures; and the litigation group has 'impressive' contentious trusts experience. Nigel Porteous is a 'standout trust lawyer, who provides coherent, concise advice on extremely technical issues'; and London-based Tony Pursall 'cuts through the nonsense to provide sensible, practical advice'. Justin Appleyard retired from the practice.

The forms without nun are not particularly Palestinian! Forms with nun are in Biblical Aramaic and Qumran (and Mandaic, of course), without nun in JLA. LJLA has both, but the evidence suggests an original attempt in that dialect to distinguish between the two, where nun-minus forms are meaning 1, those with nun meaning 2. Also note that this word is used exclusively in the targumic tradition for the literal meaning of βÄùfruit.βÄù Where the biblical text uses ΉΛΉ®Ήô in figurative senses such as βÄ€produce, offspring, resultsβÄù and the like, the parallel targums regularly use other terms, in particular the cognate ΉΛΉôΉ®Ήô.
In Syriac there is a great confusion in the texts between the three homographic vars. of the near-homonymous forms ΥÄb ( ΥÄbb), ΥÄb (ΥÄnb) and ΥÄb (hbb) !! See, for example, EphPar> 5:6.3.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Prescriptions working, economies recovering
Employers in both Canada and the United States increased hiring in March after a winter in which they were reluctant to expand their payrolls. March employment increases in both countries suggested employers were feeling more confident about their business prospects. They showed that efforts in both countries to support economic recovery were producing the desired results.
Canada's labour force survey for March showed employment increased by 43,000 over the preceding month. Employment among young workers ages 15 to 24 accounted for 33,000 of the increase. This surge in youth employment helped ease fears that young people, entering the market at a time of slow economic growth, were condemned to a long wait before they could reach the bottom rung of the career ladder.
The unemployment rate for March was 6.9 per cent, down 0.1 per cent from February. Unemployment has been slowly declining from its high point of 8.7 per cent five years ago, but the improving trend appeared to stall in the late months of 2013. The March figures restored the trend of gradual recovery from the 2008 financial crisis and from the economic slowdown that resulted.
In the U.S., employment rose by 192,000 in March and the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 6.7 per cent. Average monthly growth of employment in the preceding 12 months was 183,000. The March result therefore felt like a small acceleration in employment growth. All the growth in March occurred in the U.S. private sector, which lost 8.8 million jobs in the 2008-09 recession and has now recovered 8.9 million jobs from the low point. U.S. recovery has, to that extent, brought the job market back to where it stood in 2007, before the recession.
In the U.S., where Congress is paralyzed by partisan warfare, support for economic recovery has come primarily from the Federal Reserve Board and its policy of cheap, abundant credit. In Canada, stimulus came mainly from the government while Jim Flaherty was minister of finance. He cut taxes and ran budgetary deficits throughout his years in office in order to support growth.
The March employment reports should encourage Joe Oliver, the new minister of finance, and Janet Yellen, the new U.S. Federal Reserve chief, to believe the medicine is slowly working and the patients are recovering.
Editorials are the consensus view of the Winnipeg Free Press' editorial board, comprising Catherine Mitchell, David O'Brien, Shannon Sampert, and Paul Samyn.

Trauma surgeon elected chief of staff of Scripps La Jolla
By Arthur Lightbourn
If you see a doctor in green surgical scrubs walking around Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla with notes pen-written on his right pant leg, chances are you're seeing the hospital's newly elected chief of staff, Dr. Marc Sedwitz.
He jots notes on his pants because, as he puts it, "You can lose your Blackberry, but you won't lose your pants."
As you might guess, the stocky 57-year-old vascular and trauma surgeon is both busy and practical.
We interviewed him in the Schaetzel Center medical library on the campus of Scripps La Jolla 10 days before he assumed his new responsibilities on the threshold of a new era in health care in America.
Asked what would be his responsibilities as chief of a 900-member medical staff as of Jan. 1 for a two-year term, he said they will coincide with those of the medical executive committee, which are the credentialing of new physicians and conducting the peer review process.
However, "with health care reform being in its nascent state," he said, "the medical staff is going to be responsible for a lot more of the issues of physician behavior, patient safety and the ability for the hospital to acclimate to new crises in health care."
For 25 years, Scripps La Jolla has been North County's prime acute care emergency hospital as one of a network of six trauma centers serving San Diego County.
"As these changes occur in medicine," Sedwitz predicted, "this hospital will probably have more and more responsibilities and with that the chief of staff is going to be dedicated toward maintaining the physician excellence and patient safety.
"What we're going to see is a sudden change in how medicine is delivered. We are much more accountable in terms of what are called quality parameters, how we distinguish ourselves from a good hospital to an excellent hospital — what we're graded on.
"Physicians have always been very, very good at being graded. They got 98s in high school, in college and medical school, but medicine now is expecting 100 percent. And what we live with is trying to minimize that 2 percent of complications, the 2 percent of people with extended length of stays, maintaining our excellence in a time when we are going to see certainly a change in what economic reimbursement is going to be for this.
"You can't take 47 million people and make them have insurance at a time when hospitals are full and not have an impact on how your hospital is run and how physician responsibilities are met," he cautions.
The solution, he believes, will rest with educating physicians and utilizing new technologies, including information technologies in how physicians get information from labs and X-rays and how they communicate their thoughts to other physicians.
Also, advances in technology will improve how hospitals will view and analyze data revealing whether or not they are doing a good job in terms of "bundled" services between hospitals and their physicians to ensure the fair, equitable and collaborative distribution of reimbursements.
