GOOD NEWS FOR METROPOLITAN ROOM FANS ON HALLOWEEN
Good news for all THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 - / ) fans - this year's NYC HALLOWEEN PARADE in Greenwich Village will be a little shorter this year and won't impact this Chelsea hotspot as in previous years. The route on Sunday night, October 31st, is now five blocks shorter because of the NYPD's new rule requiring all city parades to cut down their routes by 25 percent or be limited to five hours. So the route up Sixth Avenue ends at 16th Street, not 23rd Street. The cutbacks on parades are expected to save the police department $3 million a year in overtime pay for extra officers.

Else will be joined by musicians specializing in world, jazz and experimental styles to create Latinise's trademark "global-fusion" sound, including James Cornolo, a guitarist/tres player who works with Angel D'Cuba and other Caribbean ensembles in Chicago; Danny Howard, a percussionist specializing in Afro-Brazilian styles; and jazz composer/ bassist Charlie Univerz. The dance floor will be open to all guests, and featured dancers will perform throughout the evening, including rising stars of the Tango Nuevo scene Rod Relucio and Jen Teters; emerging choreographers Aislinn Gagliardi and Megan Rhyme; and flamenco and samba performers, to be confirmed.
