  S.O.B.’s, also known as Sounds of Brazil, is a legendary live music venue in the lower Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo. It was opened by owner and director Larry Gold in June 1982. Gold opened the venue with the purpose of exposing the musical wealth and heritage of the Afro-Latino Diaspora to as many people as possible. True to its mission, it has become renowned as the premiere venue not only for World Music, but all genres, in New York City and the world over. Latin legends like Tito Puente, Marc Anthony, Celia Cruz and Eddie Palmieri were some of the first to hit the stage, but contemporary superstars like Drake, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Jill Scott, Justin Timberlake, Cardi B and more have all graced the SOBs stage. Outside of Latin, Hip-Hop, Haitian, Caribbean, and world music, SOBs has also consistently booked alternative acts like Boy Pablo, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Icon for Hire. Emerging artists and industry veterans alike love the opportunity to connect with their fans on a personal level in the intimacy of the room. Today the SOBs draws both local and international crowds and continues to specialize in Latin music, R&B, Hip-Hop, Haitian, Brazilian, Caribbean, Alternative, and World music.

  Heron Hill Winery

  9301 Co Rd 76, Hammondsport, NY 14840, USA

  • Spaces for 170 Guests

  Heron Hill Winery sits on the shores of Keuka Lake in Hammondsport, New York, at the heart of the Finger Lakes wine region. Founded in 1972 by John and Jo Ingle, the winery began with 20 hand-cleared acres planted to Chardonnay, Riesling, and Seyval Blanc — and more than fifty years later, it continues to operate on a philosophy of handcrafted quality. The guiding principle is "boot prints in its vineyards, not tire tracks": vines are hand-maintained, grapes are hand-harvested, and tastings are personalized. The winery's centerpiece is a tasting room designed in 2000 by architect Charles Warren, built with local stone and Finger Lakes architectural elements. Travel + Leisure recognized it as one of the top 10 most spectacular tasting rooms in the world — one of only two U.S. locations honored. Heron Hill has earned numerous competition awards, including Best of Show at the San Francisco International Wine Competition, with a signature emphasis on cool-climate Rieslings.
