This week NY is all about the Super Bowl… New Yorkers can’t talk about much else this week, but it is pretty exciting that the NY Giants are playing! Amidst all the game talk and brilliant ads, there has been a bit of other stuff happening around town. Fashion designer, Jason Wu is rolling out a guerrilla fashion stunt across NY, Jay-Z is prepping for his special concert in the iconic NY music venue, Carnegie Hall, and as a publicity stunt for upcoming movie, Chronicle, people flew across NY’s skyline (yes, well sort of!) Read more below for the details…

Next week, February 6th and 7th New York City will be hosting an iconic Jay-Z concert. Beyonce’s hubby and the daddy of Blue Ivy will be performing at the iconic NY venue, Carnegie Hall. The concert is a benefit for the United Way and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and tickets to the event are some of the most sought after things to get your hands on!

The 2 nights only concert is historic – not just because of where it is taking place, but that is pretty special, but also because of the cost of tickets! For a mere $1,500 you can try get a spot… but tickets are generally going for between $2,500 and $5,000 and boxes start at a whopping $15,000. Ok, so the general population (or some would say the 99%) aren’t going to be seeing Jay-Z this time, but it is going to some great and very worthy causes. The concert is going to raise money to “help fight poverty, boost on-time graduation rates in under-served New York City schools, and put college within reach for low-income students across the five boroughs”.

I wonder if Beyonce will be making an appearance at the NY landmark? There’s actually a chance, given that it is a big charity event…
