Veyote DaeganMarch 15, 2015The balcony has a killer view if you're not one to dance. Don't forget your earplugs!

The Corcoran GroupDecember 18, 2011The 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.
Gabriel HayesJanuary 18, 2016Went 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, 2017Very 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.
Gordon MeiJune 25, 2014If 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.
Adrienne PetrinoNovember 18, 2014Good acoustics! If you sit in the mezzanine section and you are short, do not sit in rows C, E, G, I, K.. Etc
CompassApril 25, 2014Fresco 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.
Cole KennedySeptember 14, 2019I 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).- Gabriel HayesAugust 6, 2015Great place to see a rap show. Saw Childish Gambino here and had a great time.
Thomas TaylorMarch 19, 2016Better 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.
Christopher FredaNovember 1, 2021Great place to see a show, near Penn Station and tons of restaurants.
Amber TsaiSeptember 16, 2014Beautiful venue. Make sure you get standing admission though if you want room to dance !

CMJAugust 29, 2012The Decemberists played a packed show for CMJ at the 2006 Music Marathon in this venue, which first opened its doors back in 1906.
Aaron BatchelderJuly 7, 2016Concert 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, 2014A beautiful venue! Get there extremely early if you want to be front row.
Concert Ticket AgencyAugust 25, 2012The 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.

Paul BaydaApril 10, 2015Your 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, 2015This 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, 2010Experience live music! Terrific place to see a concert. Very intimate venue.
Jacki StrumMay 3, 2012Over 35 NY restaurants and 70 wineries pouring - sounds like a recipe for a good night out.
