 STOKES, ACTORS FUND GET TO CARNEGIE HALL
Ever wonder how an aspiring actor or musician survives in a city as competitive (and expensive) as New York or Los Angeles? For 125 years, The Actors Fund has helped performing arts professionals from theater, film, music, opera, television, and dance with their social, health, employment, and housing needs. The anniversary celebration of The Actors Fund’s great work continues next week when Broadway leading man Brian Stokes Mitchell, also the president of The Actors Fund, makes his Carnegie Hall solo debut. Past co-stars including Reba McEntire and Phylicia Rashad will join Stokes on the stage at 8 p.m., Monday, October 15, in a special benefit performance for the Fund. Ticket prices range from $50 to $150, with special VIP packages also available. Go to www.actorsfund.org for more information or www.carnegiehall.org to purchase tickets. |

 AND THE WINNER IS....
Out of more than 4,000 entries to CITY magazine's One City, Many Destinations travel photography competition, New York–based photographer Konstantino Hatzisarros’s stunning image of two young Burmese monks was chosen as the grand-prize winner. Hatzisarros's photograph graces the cover of CITY's fall travel issue, which hits newsstands across the country this week. Hatzisarros also won a Leica M8 camera, a weekend stay at any W Hotel in North America, and a gift certificate to Calumet Photographic. Fifteen runners-up images appear in a special travel photography portfolio inside the issue, taking readers on a photographic journey around the world, from a rainy day in Paris to the streets of Calcutta to the picturesque Cook Islands to the Great Pyramids of Giza. The runner-up photographers each also won Leica cameras.
Elsewhere in CITY's fall travel issue, we slip behind the velvet ropes in Moscow and Rio de Janeiro and discover danger mixing with ultra-luxury. A comprehensive guide to the upcoming winter’s ski season is complete with CITY’s favorite slope-side hotels, après ski cocktails, fireside fashion, ski gear, and ten signature runs every ski enthusiast must try at least once before they retire their boots. Finally, CITY takes Paris’s new free bike program for a ride on the Champs-Élysées and explores stunning new hotels for jet setters to experience this winter. Go to www.city-magazine.com
