PR: New York magazine lauds BOP STOP at The Music Settlement as 'hippest haunt'

CLEVELAND -May 25, 2017- It's fair to say that Kristan Schiller enjoyed her time in Cleveland, writing a Weekend Getaway article about her "harmonious midwestern escape."

Her New York magazine story "Listen to Eclectic Live Music in Cleveland" included hearty shout-outs to local inns, restaurants, and entertainment venues. But she perhaps saved her finest accolades for BOP STOP at The Music Settlement, the live-music and entertainment venue headed by director Gabe Pollack.

"Head to Cleveland's fledgling Hingetown enclave for top-notch up-and-coming and well-established acts at Bop Stop, the hippest haunt on the Cuyahoga," Schiller wrote in the story, which hit NYmag.com late-evening on May 24.

This national spotlight on BOP STOP's "superb acoustics...and newly acquired Steinway grand (the only club in Ohio with said instrument)," has Pollack even more excited about the venue's future.

"We're happy to welcome everyone -- as Kristan put it, 'astute musicians and listeners alike' -- and I hope this will spur people from across the country and just across town to come check us out," Pollack said before adding, "we've got some great shows coming up this weekend!"

Its programs reach students from birth through retirement and beyond. The Music Settlement is generously funded by Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and the Ohio Arts Council. In 2014, the Settlement opened the BOP STOP nightclub at 2920 Detroit Ave., after its donation to the organization in late 2013.
