Nick Grinder is a trombonist and composer who has been active in New York City for over a decade, playing and recording with artists ranging from Tony Bennet and Lady Gaga to the big bands of Arturo O’Farrill and Darcy James Argue, and in the pits of over thirty Broadway shows. Lauded as “an important future voice in jazz trombone” by Slide Hampton in his youth, his two original albums have been praised as “joyful yet intricate” (JazzIz) and “potently beautiful” (All About Jazz). Nick is using Inwood Art Works as a testing ground for his new compositions, and is joined by Martha Kato (piano), Evan Gregor (bass) and John Sturino (drums).

Step inside the historic cottage at Fort Tryon Park during Open House New York for a rare opportunity to explore one of the park’s original structures. Built as the gatehouse for the early 20th-century Billings Estate, the cottage now serves as the offices of NYC Parks and the Fort Tryon Park Conservancy. Visitors can learn about the cottage’s history, architecture, and connection to the Billings Estate while exploring this unique piece of Fort Tryon Park’s past.
Ramble through three riverfront parks and across one big bridge at this free cross-river walking adventure and scavenger hunt. Ramblers can pick up a free paper map with walking directions and points of interest to discover at any of three staffed hubs:
* The Little Red Lighthouse in Fort Washington Park
* The N.J. entrance to the G.W.B. North Walk and the Palisades Interstate Park Long Path
* The Cottage at Fort Tryon Park
* Maps and information will also be available at Break Away Cafe, located at 71 Cabrini Boulevard, which is offering special discounts to event participants.
Ramblers can begin their adventure in any park, choose to explore one park or all three, and will use their paper map to check off what they discover. Along the route, Ramblers can collect a different small keepsake and a unique rubber stamp at each park hub, marking their passage.
The Riverfront Ramble will include a mix of scenic, historic and natural highlights along the Hudson River. Points of interest include Fort Washington Park’s pollinator meadows and nature-inspired playspaces; Palisades Interstate Park’s Long Path, a premier long-distance trail that starts in northern Manhattan, crosses the George Washington Bridge, and travels north through New Jersey and New York to the Adirondacks, offering dramatic riverfront overlooks along the way; and Fort Tryon Park’s Heather Garden, the largest public garden with unrestricted access in New York.
This event is free and open to the public. Registration via Eventbrite is encouraged. Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water; the full Ramble covers more than 10 miles, crosses the George Washington Bridge, and includes some significant hills and elevation changes. There is no requirement to complete the entire route in one day: Ramblers are welcome to explore one, two or all three parks and return another day to continue their adventure.
Riverfront Ramble is brought to you by Palisades Parks Conservancy, Riverside Park Conservancy and Fort Tryon Park Conservancy.

Bridge and tunnel theatre kid AMY ENGELHARDT recently came back to roost in NY after a long west coast detour and is really thrilled about it! Amy co-wrote lyrics and scored Off-Broadway Alliance Best New Musical Nominee BASTARD JONES (2x Eugene O’Neill/Richard Rodgers Award Finalist) at the cell theatre, TRIPTYCH (NY Transit Museum commission), A COMEDY OF ERAS (ACT Seattle w/Flying Karamazov Brothers), O’Neill semifinalist/Kleban Prize finalist A COLLECTIBLE SENSATION (with Arianna Rose) and THE WILLING (Minneapolis TBA 2027). Her solo show IMPACT won the Best Score Jury Prize at the National Women’s Theatre Festival and has been produced at the Edinburgh Fringe, The Tank NYC, Fountain Theatre (LA) and London’s Voila Festival. Amy also co-created TUNE IN TIME, NYC’s Musical Theater Game Show with producer Heather Shields (“the BMI workshop on steroids” – Stage Buddy) and is a MAC Songwriting Award winner. She toured as the resident “sub-lebrity” with Harry Shearer and Judith Owen’s CHRISTMAS WITHOUT TEARS annually (NY, Chicago, LA and New Orleans) and has appeared many times at Don’t Tell Mama, the Duplex, 54 Below, the Green Room 42 and No Name’s downtown variety shows. From 1998-2012, Amy was the sole female writer/performer/producer in Grammy-nominated vocal quartet THE BOBS. Now that she’s back in New York, Amy wants you to know she has absolutely no intentions of finally playing ANNIE on Broadway. www.amyengelhardt.com
