Top 10 Concerts & Shows in New York City, New York (NY)
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

What an incredible show! The actors were outstanding, think my husband and I had more fun than my 3 and 6 year old- it was a spectacular opportunity to transport ourselves into “another land” for an adventure - so professional, well put together, with an excellent professional team.

Attended the 2019 Holiday show, and was so impressed. The integration of tech graphics, the orchestra, live animals, the chorale singers, and of course the phenomenal Rockettes, into the sets was perfect. I hadn't been to Radio City in years, and it was as exceptional as I remembered.

The Lincoln Center For The Performing Arts is undisputedly the world’s leading performing arts venue and the premier entertainment destination in New York. It houses prominent nationally and internationally performing arts organizations such as the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and the New York City Ballet. The Lincoln Center For The Performing Arts was built by a consortium of business leaders led by John D. Rockefeller III as part of the “Lincoln Square Renewal Project” which took place during the 1950’s and 1960’s. During the summer of 2018, I brought and treated my wife and myself to attend and watch L'Amour: Entre Reverie et Passion (Love & Passion), a musical performance conducted by the World Civic Orchestra at the Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center For The Performing Arts. The World Civic Orchestra consists of musicians from all over the world and is led by the world renowned conductor, Vincent Koh. My wife and I enjoyed the rhapsodic music of Albania and very much enjoyed the flamenco style dancing that was featured in El Amor Brujo. In addition to the musical performance, my wife and I were impressed by the Lincoln Center’s rich and detailed architecture, its magnificent artwork, and beauty and glamor of the auditorium at the Alice Tully Hall. All in all, my wife and I had a wonderful experience at the Lincoln Center For The Performing Arts. We definitely can’t wait for it to open again after we’ve overcome the challenges posed by COVID 19.
