The balcony has a killer view if you're not one to dance. Don't forget your earplugs!

The acoustics and the headliners here are fantastic! Look up at the amazing ceiling – it might distract you from what’s on stage. Bathrooms and coat check are downstairs.

Went here for the Ratatat show. Awesome acoustics, lasers, lighting and smoke machines. One of the best venues for this type of show.
JD MaloneSeptember 9, 2017
Very spacious venue for those who like to dance to the show otherwise the balcony seats are a must at least once as the surroundings are amazing.

If you're here for live music, grab a beer before beelining to the front of the floor area by the stage. It will be a long walk through the crowd otherwise.

Good acoustics! If you sit in the mezzanine section and you are short, do not sit in rows C, E, G, I, K.. Etc

Fresco angels and multiple balconies date back to 1906, but perfomances by present-day stars include Beyonce, The Metropolitan Opera, Leonard Bernstein, and more.

This venue is beautiful. The design is impeccable, and the sound is great too. I've seen some incredible shows here.

Very nice, I'd love be here 👌🏾
Cole KennedySeptember 14, 2019
I do not like it when bands I like play shows here because it straight up feels like one of those big mega churches (which also, it is).

Great place to see a rap show. Saw Childish Gambino here and had a great time.

This is a great venue for professional wrestling Ring of Honor, ECW.
Thomas TaylorMarch 19, 2016
Better than T5 but that's a huge endorsement! Bars have long lines and the acoustics are poor on the floor unless you get up front and close to the action.

Great place to see a show, near Penn Station and tons of restaurants.
Christian BorgesNovember 18, 2019
Awesome, intimate venue for events from concerts to sports.

Gorgeous, spacious ballroom with tiered theater seating.
Amber TsaiSeptember 16, 2014
Beautiful venue. Make sure you get standing admission though if you want room to dance !

Why go to a ballroom when you can take pics in a photo booth! Read more

The Decemberists played a packed show for CMJ at the 2006 Music Marathon in this venue, which first opened its doors back in 1906.

Avoid the lines and hit the bar in the basement!
Gabriel HayesJanuary 18, 2016
Definitely go for ground floor GA. Great pit for shows.
Aaron BatchelderJuly 7, 2016
Concert was great but the seats were HORRIBLE! As in they were super uncomfortable. I guess you don't go to a concert to sit, but it's still worth noting.
The Infinite ZooApril 19, 2014
A beautiful venue! Get there extremely early if you want to be front row.

Go upstairs to the side balconies for a great view.

Nice place for concerts, etc. Nice clean bathrooms

The best sound in this former opera house is about seven rows back in the first mezzanine.

It’s better to sit down than stand. I learned this the hard way over the years.

Gorgeous venue. Floor is always preferred, but the balconies aren't terrible!

Your system fucking sux. You got iPads to check your shit in but still rely on cash??? Fuck your atm machines with $4 charge. You suck and I hope your business will die very soon.
PaigeMarch 23, 2015
This place sucks!Asked for an upgrade in seating.Said they are sold out.Which is bullshit b/c I'm looking at tons of empty seats in the balconies.Avoid this venue at all costs.So not accommodating!
Conor ClancyJune 16, 2010
Experience live music! Terrific place to see a concert. Very intimate venue.

Over 35 NY restaurants and 70 wineries pouring - sounds like a recipe for a good night out.
