Venues for music and theater

This is, after all, New York. We have Broadway, off-Broadway, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Same-day tickets are available at deep discounts at TKTS booths near Times Square and at the South Street Seaport. Sign up (free) for TheaterMania or Playbill to order discounted tickets online. Also, your J.P. Morgan corporate ID will get you discounts to many of New York's theaters and concert halls, all part of J.P. Morgan's "On the Town" program designed to give employees the best (and cheapest) access to cultural happenings all over the city.

See Shakespeare in Central Park for free each summer, at the Delacorte Theater (as long as you have time to wait in line for a ticket). In fact, Central Park has a hundred things going on all the time - free concerts, ice skating in the winter, free opera in the summer, concerts - and there's always a game of Frisbee going on. Then there's the zoo - inside the park!

Brooklyn's Prospect Park, like Central Park, was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux. The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and the Brooklyn Museum are on its edge, and both are worth many a visit.

If you want to enjoy some of the great smaller music venues found all over the city, head to ohmyrockness.com for a full listing. For brand-new bands and music icons alike, New York City is a major destination. With so much to choose from, you simply have to make time for a night of music while you're here.

If you like movies and watching them under the stars, then you will love the HBO Bryant Park summer film festival.  On most Monday nights throughout the summer, Bryant Park offers classics from “Casablanca” to “Annie Hall”.
