I love Lincoln Center. We have seen several show there. Beautiful place. Big gift shop in lobby. Naturally, great entertainment. It does get crowded, however, mainly due to its popularity. Bill Keats

Attended the metropolitan Opera for the first time in over 60 years of NY city visits. WOW what a fascinating experience. I expected a dressed up group og grey hairs, but I found a more casual broad range of attendees. Definitely felt different than the local movie theater version.

The cab ride cost fifteen bucks, as traffic was crazy in NYC at 6.45pm- but on arriving at The Lincoln Center, we were amazed at its beauty and stunning water pool and sculptures as we walked across the outdoor piazza. We enjoyed the show and later sampled some delicious foods and wines in the Lincoln Center Restaurant. Great waitstaff, attentive... More

Being Russian made me interested in learning about Stravinsky life during his immigration years in USA, so my friend took me to see this play.. Comfortable cosy theater with good acoustic, great dancers and unfading Orpheus music, coming up life meaning subjects and cute attempts of native Americans to speak with Russian accent , but still by my opinion the...

It takes a well connected playwright to put on stage eighteen performers for almost three hours in a play that could use generouse cuts and be reduced to ninety minutes. Staging is good but, particularly for younger generation, the play is boring and bordering on being incomprehensible. So no surprize that one third of seats are empty.

Was a great performance by the company. Seems like wherever you sit is a good view. We were in orchestra. A must do attraction if visiting New York.

Enjoy NYC theater & shopping -- don't like the constant noise. Hard to choose from so many great eateries, but going to Lincoln Center performances is always exciting and impressive.

I went there for a free music event and in the summer. The area is very busy and trendy. Lots of stuff to do and see in the summer and fall.
