Club Cubano Inter-Americano - Valentine's Dinner Dance Gala 2012
Los Soneros de Oriente performing Mulato Rumbero at the Valentine's Dinner Dance Gala on February 11, 2012.
The legendary Club Cubano Inter-Americano hosted their first annual Valentine's Dinner Dance Gala and fundraiser, in the elegant Polonaise Ballroom of the Polish Center in Yonkers, NY, this past Saturday, February 11, 2012. Despite the threat of inclement weather, the event sold-out and guests enjoyed a glamorous evening of Cuban cuisine, music, dancing and entertainment. This was the second successful event in a row by the Club Cubano since its reorganization, the first event being El Festival de La Guayabera back on October 1st, 2011.
This non-profit social club founded back in 1945, made a remarkable comeback in the fall of last year after voting in a new executive board of younger members. All are working professionals from various disciplines such as business, finance, internet technology and advertising who bring their own specialized talents to the table and are eager to take the organization into the 21st century. The success of El Festival de La Guayabera marked a new beginning for the organization, and now with the additional success of the Valentine's Gala this past Saturday, the Club has set its focus on bringing back, this spring, the event that made the Cuban Club Inter-Americano legendary ---La Fiesta del Mamoncillo.
On Saturday at the Valentine's Gala, the Club Cubano Inter-Americano officially announced that it will once again host the Original Fiesta del Mamoncillo on May 19th, in its original location at the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden in Astoria Queens, NY, featuring 3 live bands: Charanga '76, SonSublime and the third to be announced. This event, which was started 43 years ago in 1969, has throughout the years, attracted Cuban music lovers and dancers from the tri-state, as well as states as far away as Florida, and has become the leading event that maintains Cuban culture and history in the North Eastern United States.
Mark your calendars and save the date; this is going to be quite an exciting event.
Tickets will go on sale soon.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Manhattan (), often referred to locally as the City, is the most densely populated borough of New York City, its economic and administrative center, cultural identifier, and historical birthplace. The borough is coextensive with New York County, one of the original counties of the U.S. state of New York. The borough consists mostly of Manhattan Island, bounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers; several small adjacent islands; and Marble Hill, a small neighborhood now on the U.S. mainland, physically connected to the Bronx and separated from the rest of Manhattan by the Harlem River. Manhattan Island is divided into three informally bounded components, each aligned with its long axis: Lower, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan.
Manhattan is often described as the cultural, financial, media, and entertainment capital of the world, and the borough hosts the United Nations Headquarters. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world, and Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization: the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Many multinational media conglomerates are based in Manhattan, and the borough has been the setting for numerous books, films, and television shows. Manhattan is historically documented to have been purchased by Dutch colonists from Native Americans in 1626 for 60 guilders, which equals roughly US$1038 in current terms. Manhattan real estate has since become among the most expensive in the world, with the value of Manhattan Island, including real estate, estimated to exceed US$3 trillion in 2013; median residential property sale prices in Manhattan approximated US$1,600 per square foot ($17,000/m2) as of 2018, with Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan commanding the highest retail rents in the world, at US$3,000 per square foot ($32,000/m2) in 2017.Manhattan traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 16 ...

The territory and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York, based in present-day Manhattan, served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the Americas by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a world symbol of the United States and its ideals of liberty and peace. Manhattan became a borough during the consolidation of New York City in 1898.
New York County is the United States' second-smallest county by land area (larger only than Kalawao County, Hawaii), and is also the most densely populated U.S. county. It is also one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a census-estimated 2017 population of 1,664,727 living in a land area of 22.83 square miles (59.13 km2), or 72,918 residents per square mile (28,154/km2), higher than the density of any individual U.S. city. On business days, the influx of commuters increases this number to over 3.9 million, or more than 170,000 people per square mile (65,600/km2). Manhattan has the third-largest population of New York City's five boroughs, after Brooklyn and Queens, and is the smallest borough in terms of land area.Many districts and landmarks in Manhattan are well known, as New York City received a record 62.8 million tourists in 2017, and Manhattan hosts three of the world's 10 most-visited tourist attractions in 2013: Times Square, Central Park, and Grand Central Terminal. The borough hosts many prominent bridges, such as the Brooklyn Bridge; skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building; and parks, such as Central Park.
