What to do and see in Lincoln Square, New York (NY): The Best Performances
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.

We've attended Verdi's Requiem opening and loved it. Acoustic in Family Circle is awesome, seats are pretty comfortable, and subtitles machine helped to better understand the masterpiece. Also the interior of the theater and the concert hall is very impressive and worth visiting

Now extended for a second year, join New York magician & mentalist Gary Ferrar around an antique pool table as he shares new experimental material in this secret gathering.

I gave up on the circus decades ago because of the use of exotic animals. BAC does not use exotic animals. Except for a brief and enjoyable act with house cats it is entirely human based and every bit as thrilling a circus show as I've ever seen. Highly skilled performers will take your breath away and you'll be on the edge of your seat. Really wonderful! Highly recommended.

The performers and the choreography in Swan Lake are amazing. Despite a minor stumble by one of the male dancers, the performance was practically flawless. We bought our tickets on StubHub, that deserves a seperate review. Face value for Orchestra Row M is $152. We payed $300 plus StubHub Fees. We had seats 119 & 120, 120 is an aisle seat. Orchestra has plenty of leg room compared to the rings above and the view is fine. The pitch of the orchestra is fairly mild so you run the risk of a tall person sitting in front of you and obstructing your line of sight. We arrived at 7:45 for an 8:00 show. This gave us time to use the bathroom and get seated. The attire for both men and women varies between jeans and sweater to tuxedos and gowns. Overall, we had a lovely evening at one of NY’s finest theaters. Bravo.

Morning talk show.
Reviewed By RobOnLocation - Ottawa, Canada
I got some last minute confirmed tickets to the show for my parents and I. We got to the studio around 7am and fortunately it wasn't very cold for a November morning. We had to stay outside in the queue, as the building lobby can't fit the entire audience. However while we were waiting, Ryan Seacrest came out to film a clip for the show, so we got to see him up close. Once we entered, we were seated in the front row of the balcony, and could see really well. The seats on the floor would have cameras and crew in front of them. Kelly Ripa was on jury duty, but Elizabeth Banks filled in as a guest host. The guest was John Cena. The crew was quite nice, and this is one of the only shows I've attended that allows photos in the studio, even during the show. At the end, they let us take photos on the set as well, which is very cool. It was a great, fun experience, and I'd definitely try and come back next time I'm in the city.

My Aunt has been an avid watcher of “The View” since its inception. She’s always wanted to attend a taping. I surprised her by going on 1iota and getting tickets. We didn’t get priority tickets, but were in Group A. We took a chance and flew from Nashville to NYC in the hope we’d get in. We did!! I recommend getting there at 8:00 if you don’t have priority. If you have priority then get there by 9:30 at LATEST. Don’t forget your ticket. The 1iota staff and security were VERY nice and efficient. Once you get your wristband, you’re ushered into a waiting area that is very comfortable and has a Starbucks. They take everyone to get in line to head into the studio a few tables at a time. Angela was a wonderful comedian who warmed us up and entertained during commercial breaks. She was hilarious and really interacted well with the audience. The cast members do interact a bit, but not a lot, which was fine. Today we got a free Disney coffee table book and a $100 gift certificate to an online shop. We truly had a fabulous time and the hour flew by! Highly recommend!
