- By Gio Safari It’s been a long time since I last wrote for UndercoverNY. I have been very busy with a thousand different projects – I’m not sure I’m even exaggerating! – and this website was out of commission for a long time. Now that it’s up and running, better than ever, I thought [...]

Well, here’s just a short video about the beginning of June. What fun it is when the sun comes out! Must have gotten a good ten acts in, which I’m fairly proud of. Hope you enjoy, and some of them are up elsewhere on the site too.

Well, I’m a little surprised that it’s already been a year since the last museum mile – obviously I’ve not been doing enough since the last one.

It’s a valid question, I thought, but I brushed it off. “I just know I’m meant to be here right now,” [...]

Susie Tanenbaum, City Lore and the Street Performers Advocacy Project have inspired me this week. Most of the news I’ve put up so far has either been about street performers who have made it big, buskers who are doing great things, events that are offering good deals for us, or the legal situation of various [...]
