: : I'm sure there are lots of places, but why not go into NYC? That's where you'll find the best events, dancers and bands-really shouldn't be missed if you're close enough. Check out www.salsanewyork.com for all the events. If you'd like specific info, post the dates you'll be there and I'll try to give you some good recommendations. Rob

Hi Gina,
There's not tons going on that particular day... your best bets might be China Club 268 West 47th Street (between 8th Avenue & Broadway, near the corner of 8th Avenue), in the Times Square district of Manhattan. Club phone 212-398-3800 or for a fun evening try The Copacabana 560 West 34th Street (corner of 11th Avenue), midtown Manhattan, NYC. 212-239-2672. www.CopaCabanaNY.com , email - gleeballard@earthlink.net . "Dress to impress" - no jeans of any kind, no sneakers or boots. Collared shirts preferred for men. Accepted age for admission is 21 for ladies & 25 for men, bring your ID. Saturdays are not as much salsa as other nights, but if you've never been, it's well worth going.
If you can get into the city on Sunday, Oct 31 you absolutely have to go to the Jimmy Anton's Social at Dance Manhattan Studios, 39 West 19th Street, (between 5th & 6th Avenues), 5th Floor, NYC. 212-807-0802. This gets my vote for the consistently best regularly scheduled salsa dance in the world. 5pm- 9pm. For a really memorable salsa day in NYC, many of us take the afternoon Eddie Torres class which is amazing and then slide over to Jimmy's for the social.
Hope you have a great time in New York,
Rob
