From high culture to low, New York has every form of
entertainment, nearly every night of the week. Fans of classical and
high-end jazz head to Carnegie Hall, widely considered to have some of
the best acoustics in the world, while the Metropolitan Opera and
Ballet can be found in the various halls of Lincoln Center.
The Broadway theatres are abuzz six days a week with blockbusters
like Jersey Boys and the Lion King, while edgier theatrical
performances can be found in downtown institutions such as the Public
Theater at Astor Place.
Jazz aficionados flock to Greenwich Village clubs like Small's and
the Blue Note, and those looking for some rock and roll need go no
further than Arlene's Grocery Store on the Lower East Side, Irving
Plaza near Union Square, or scores of other venues where the music
comes with plenty of New York style.
