Carnegie Hall
Carnegie Hall is one of the most eminent music venues in the world
A world renowned music and concert hall, Carnegie Hall provides an awesome experience for the music aficionado. Music genres include orchestra, classic ensemble, chamber, opera, pop and jazz. Unfortunately if you are visiting New York during the summer months the season is concluded, but the schedule kicks into high gear by October.
Completed in 1890, the Carnegie Hall opened on May 5 1891 with a five day music festival. In 1986 the hall was rejuvenated with extensive interior renovations. Seeing the hall today one has to wonder that it had to be purchased by the City of New York to spare it from demolition back in 1960.
If you can't take in a performance you can still enjoy a guided tour of the hall for a small admission fee during the normal concert season.
Nearby attractions include: Central Park, Central Park Wildlife Center and the Museum of Modern Art.

From the initial phone call assistance in purchasing tickets to passing through the security guards, the customer service at Carnegie Hall was nothing short of seamless. The venue itself is breathtaking and majestic. As a plus-size individual (3x), I had concerns about fitting comfortably in the chairs, given past experiences at Broadway shows. However, Carnegie Hall pleasantly surprised me – the seats were not only plus-size-friendly but also exceptionally comfortable. I wholeheartedly look forward to returning for another show at this fantastic venue.

First of all, any guesses for the one thing that Carnegie Hall offers for free - surprise surprise, Ricola lozenges!!
Amazing overall experience at Carnegie Hall. We first took a tour of the hall and heard amazing stories from the guide. Then we attended a family member’s performance. The acoustics were simply the best. The decor was graceful. The ambience was meditative. The whole process of getting in and out was so smooth for such a large facility. The museum was classy, the gift shop was a bit too tiny, and the cafe had good ambience.

Beautiful, Authentic and Spacious concert hall that adds life and experience to any type of performance. It is a very elegant venue.
On this night went to see comedian Andrew Dice Clay. I sat in the upper deck and could see and hear him just fine. The liquour areas were moderately priced for midtown NYC.

This is the first time I enter the Carnegie Hall. My son and his peers were selected in the WorldStrides Honors Instrumental Performance. There are three groups. Honors String Orchestra, Honors Symphony Orchestra, and Honors Band. I had a blast!
