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.

I had done the tour 20+years ago, I enjoyed it this time around again. The lovely lady gave us a great run through of this landmark. You could see her truly enjoying her job. I will love to attend a concert here soon.

It was my first concert here and the staff and management provided for a very nice experience. There is safe and secure storage for coats and bags and the staff guides new comers to their seats. The acoustics in the Hall are very good even in the highest of seats. I was introduced to coughing here, a unique way that the audience communicates with the stage.
