Hello!
My name is Jacob, I am a professional musician and educator based in Brooklyn. I teach guitar, voice, songwriting, and production out of my home studio here or I can come to you as well. I am also open to online lessons.
I have a bachelors from Berklee College of Music in voice and jazz composition, and a masters from NYU in jazz guitar performance. I have experience leading bands, composing and music directing for professional touring productions, and touring internationally. My group has been nominated twice for Jazz Artist of the Year by the Boston Music Awards. I currently have music in an Off Broadway show.
I have studied with many different greats and have acquired a ton of teaching material and techniques for students of every kind! I can help prepare for auditions (students of mine have been accepted to institutions like Berklee College of Music and LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.)
Please check out my website for more info and for free educational PDFs -- https://www.jacobavinermusic.com
Current availability is limited so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Constantly struggling to find decent chicken for pick up or delivery. Have tried Chirping/ Dallas BBQ/ Texas BBQ
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
According to the article, Upside Pizza has signed a lease at 1501 Second Avenue (at East 78th Street).
If this is the corner space at 1501, this is the long time vacant spot of the former Sushi Hana, which was very popular back in the day.
Hi everyone!
My name is Wanda. I'm a vegan chef, Health Coach, and passionate advocate for conscious, plant-based living.
Over the years I've had the opportunity to work in some incredible kitchens, including Noma, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and Astrid y Gastón in Peru. I've also been vegan for over 8 years, and I see food as nutrition, a way to care for ourselves, our communities, and the planet.
I currently have small-batch weekly plant-based meal prep from my kitchen in Long Island City, Queens.
Everything is 100% plant-based , cooked using ceramic cookware, with olive oil and avocado oil, and crafted with mostly organic ingredients. I cook the way I would cook for myself and the people I love.
Each week includes 5 different meals (2 portions of each), with a rotating menu that changes weekly and cycles seasonally. One meal every week is freezed for a little extra flexibility.
This week's menu:
🦋Crispy Tofu Cutlet
Breaded crispy tofu cutlet with roasted sweet potatoes, crunchy slaw, pumpkin seeds, pickles and spicy maple mustard.
🦋 Creamy Tempeh Stroganoff
Creamy tempeh and vegetables in a savory stroganoff sauce, served with smoky roasted potatoes and green peas.
🦋High Protein Pesto Pasta
Protein pasta with basil walnut pesto, roasted chickpeas, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, Brussels sprouts and hemp seeds.
🦋Latina Bowl
Rice, black beans, plantains, tofu scramble, edamame, pico de gallo and ginger carrot dressing.
🦋Eggplant Parmesan
Baked eggplant parmesan with tofu-white bean ricotta and arugula salad with balsamic dijon dressing.
I do the delivery on Sunday with extra fee or you can pick up in Long Island City, Queens.
I also offer private cooking classes, health coaching, and will be hosting community events in the near future.
I already have a wonderful group of regular clients, but I'm looking to connect with a few more people who would enjoy having this delicious meals ready for the week.
Feel free to send me a message if you'd like more information.
Wanda :)
