U2′s Love Affair With New York City

Well, it seems we should rename Greenwich Village Lypton Village as U2 and their family and friends invade New York City this week.

We’ve seen Bono, Ali, Edge and Morleigh support their good friend Christy Turlington at the premiere of her documentary No Woman No Cry at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Edge took in a performance of Green Day’s American Idiot musical on Broadway. He was also seen at the premiere of the film Nice Guy Johnny at the Tribeca Film Festival.

As a Gavin Friday fan, I follow his site and forum. Not long ago, Gavin himself hinted at a new Guggi art exhibition in NYC at the end of April. He didn’t say much more than that. It was enough to get me excited though! So it seems it was indeed true. Some of our favorite Lypton Villagers will gather at the Yoshii Gallery on Madison Avenue for a private showing of new works by Guggi.

Bono and Ali are having their home renovated back in Dublin so they have been staying at their place in NYC. Larry Mullen, Jr. is always spotted around town but often flies under the radar.

So it seems New York City is the place to be right now if you want to bump into some of the band, their family, and even their Lypton Village friends!

New York has always been a special place for this band. When they performed in Madison Square Garden, something magical always happened. The band and the audience could always feel it.

The gang seems to gather here often. The documentary Made in Manhattan followed U2, Gavin, and Guggi in New York City during important events in each of their lives. More recently, Gavin Friday’s 50th birthday concert at Carnegie Hall last October was a once in a lifetime event that I was lucky enough to be a part of.

I have a feeling this love affair with the Big Apple will continue for a very long time! It hasn’t happened just yet, but one of these days I am determined to run into one of them on the streets here! When it happens, you’ll be the first to know.
