New York Citys concert halls offer some of the best entertainment in the world. There are many different venues showcasing every conceivable type of performance. Below is a list of some of the major concert halls and a brief description of each.
TYPTip on dress: Although there generally are no official dress codes at any of the New York theaters there are still some widely accepted customs. When attending the orchestra, a concert or opera at Lincoln Center or Carnegie Hall, men usually wear a jacket and tie and woman usually wear a cocktail dress or elegant pant suit. In recent years fewer people dress in formal evening clothes to such events, but shorts, T-shirts or sweat pants are out of place, especially in the better seats. However, for gala performances, evening clothes are the norm.
For other events, such as concerts at Madison Square Garden or more contemporary performances, you can generally wear whatever you like.
