The Gershwin Hotel is a perfect birthplace for Blind Ear. Equally funky and sophisticated, the Gershwin Hotel attracts an eclectic mix of people. Located in the Flatiron District (formerly Tin-Pan Alley), it is known for their eye-catching exterior and laid back atmosphere. We love Gershwin's dedication to all things artistic; their artist-in-residence program and busy concert schedule is unique for a New York Hotel.
