THE VILLAGE VOICE: "BEST OF NEW YORK" (2005)

"Best Classical Pianist at a Fast-Food Restaurant"

"In between shouts of "May I help the next customer please?" the Wall Street McDonald's occasionally features the lulling piano of ANDREW SHAPIRO. For over a year now, this one-time Philip Glass intern has entertained curious tourists with his own ambient compositions, played on a small platform over the entrance. He's understandably grateful to move hundreds of his CDs there, and he gets his Value Meals for free."
