Lounge Fanatics
Used to see Putumayo CDs in random global knick-knack stores, but they are soon turning into a force to reckon with. Proudly own two of their compilations - Turkish Groove and Latin Lounge, and they are highly addictive selections. They seem to have picked the best of global lounge music over the last few years. Check out their Euro and Sahara Lounge samples - especially the Thievery Corporation track that opens up the Euro Lounge album.
In other news, if you're planning a getaway from Manhattan, I highly recommend Wave Hill up in Riverdale. A 25-minute ride from the hustling-bustling city through a scenic train route parallel to the Hudson, this place is a garden-conservatory picnic spot, in the hilly city of Riverdale, which almost makes you feel like you're deep in the country.
Plus its known for its hush-hush art exhibitions (like the one I saw, Thoreau Reconsidered), and Tai Chi classes. Great for a picnic, but its GYOG (get your own grub).
Also, the water lounge at the Great Jones Spa - complimentary with any of their treatments. Ahhh relaxation!
