Title: MK & DS related places in NYC
Post by: shortfin on August 07, 2018, 02:20:10 PM

Hello everybody, I will leave for New York city in a couple of weeks, and I was wondering if some of you has a list (or just some hints) of "must see" places related to Dire Straits or Mark Knopfler music or history there.
Thanks.

Marco

Rockaway Park, Palisades Park, Steeplechase Park, Power Station Studios, Radio City.

The parks are all closed. Power station is now called Avatar studios. Rockaway beach would be nice.

Radio city and Rudy's Music stop are a must.
