 New York marks its emergence from the worst of the coronavirus pandemics with a star-studded free concert in Central Park on Saturday. We love New York City. The homecoming concert features a lineup that ranges from classical to rap, including Bruce Springston, Barry Manilow, Andre Bosley, The Killers, Patti Smith, Poloji and the New York Philharmonic and Paul Seymour. The concert, backed by Mayor Bill de Blasio, is also intended to celebrate the resilience of New York, one of the most affected US cities at the start of the pandemic in the spring of 2020. The concert expected to attract some 60,000 people will also be streamed live on cable channel. Proof of at least one dose of the COVID vaccination or a negative test will be required to attend.
