One of the best places in the city to catch a live performance. Fantastic old-time, authentic New York venue to see a band, with what feels like the original, upholstered seating.

One of our favorite venues for general admission concerts. But direct at their box office and avoid paying ticket broker fees!
We’ve been seeing shows here for years. Try and get a spot in the mezzanine, if it’s non-vip, it’s the best and least crowded spot to see the show.
The acoustics and the headliners here are fantastic! Look up at the amazing ceiling – it might distract you from what’s on stage. Bathrooms and coat check are downstairs.
Can be a little tough to find, but look for the curved jumbotron by the MTV building. Great place for corporate events, with comfortable seating. Arrive early & hang out downstairs at the bar.

Nothing beats seeing a summer concert on a nice night in Central Park. Most of the shows are free here, but even when tickets need to be purchased, it's totally worth it. Get here early!
The setting is amazing, especially on a nice summer night. Bring a blanket, some food and some friends, and grab a seat on the lawn. Make sure to come very early, as the line to get in can be crazy!
