Jazz at Lincoln Center
JAZZ
Perched high atop the Time Warner Center (see 59 ), Jazz at Lincoln Center consists
of three state-of-the-art venues: the midsized Rose Theater; the panoramic, glass-backed
Allen Room; and the intimate, atmospheric Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola. It's the last one
you're likely to visit given its regular, nightly shows. The talent is often exceptional, as are
the dazzling Central Park views.

Carnegie Hall
This legendary music hall may not be the world's biggest, nor grandest, but it's definitely
one of the most acoustically blessed venues around. Opera, jazz and folk greats feature in
the Isaac Stern Auditorium, with edgier jazz, pop, classical and world music in the hugely
popular Zankel Hall. The intimate Weill Recital Hall hosts chamber music concerts, debut
performances and panel discussions.

Top Tip
Budget Broadway
Many of the hottest shows - including
Kinky Boots
and
Book of Mormon
- run ticket lotteries, entered at the theater
2½ hours before the performance. If your name is drawn, the show is yours for less than $40. The bad news: tickets
