Soundwalk is so pleased to announce its partnership with the Jewish Community Centre of London! For a limited time, the Centre is running a contest on their site for 10 free Soundwalks per month, with a choice between the Lower East Side and the two Williamsburg walks, as a part of their spring feature on Jewish life in New York City. JCC London is a hip source of information about what’s going on in England’s cultural hub, with art, film, and book reviews and an up-to-date calendar of the season’s highlights.
Click for more information on the Lower East Side and Williamsburg Men’s and Women’s Soundwalks, follow JCC London on Twitter, or check out their Facebook page.

“My childhood neighborhood changed although in some little corners it remains the same. Two communities still live perfectly together: jews and gays. But the Marais is getting more and more invaded by clothing stores… No matter what, le Marais keeps its soul if you know where to look for it. As I took the Soundwalk, I found it (hopefully) back. The cheesecakes still have the same taste as my grandmother’s one, the gay bookstore has the best selection of thrillers!” – Helene Zylberait
