Below, the top concert venues in New York. Ranging from a surprisingly versatile sports stadium to a jewel box of a jazz space, these spots all have diverse programming, good sight lines from every seat, and, in many cases, concessions you’ll actually want to line upfor.

绝对Best

1.Music Hall of威廉斯堡
66 N. 6thSt., nr. Wythe Ave., Williamsburg; 718-486-5400

在威廉斯堡音乐厅,拥有三层和650人的容量,是在纽约举行的音乐会的最佳场所。这Bowery Presentsvenue occupies the former space of belovedDIYvenue Northsix and does its predecessor proud by consistently providing intimate experiences with some of music’s biggest names, all with excellent sound quality and production value. Past shows have seen crowds being sweated on by Iggy Pop, falling down dancing to the Faint, and collectively trembling along with Fiona Apple. The downstairs lounge isn’t as spacious as the identically designed runner-upBowery Ballroom,但在楼上,分开的酒吧,木制阳台座位和超酷的壁画弥补了这一点。另外,这里的欢乐时光只有6美元。

2.Beacon Theater
2124百老汇,NR。74th英石。;212-465-6500

不乏在纽约观看演出的分类场所。在哈林,阿波罗has legendary status, while down in Brooklyn you’ll find the gorgeously renovated国王剧院。但是在上西侧,无线电城’s smaller, younger counterpart, the Beacon Theatre, shines for consistent booking (both venues are run by the Madison Square Garden Company), clear acoustics, and, if you can believe it, decent drink prices. Sure, shows skew to the older set: This year Jerry Seinfeld chose it for his regular stand-up gigs, and the Allman Brothers used to have a residency. But recent acts have included Adele, Leon Bridges, and Billy Corgan’s acoustic tour. For a chill night out, pretty much every seat is a good (and pretty comfy) one, a feat for a venue with a 2,800-personcapacity.

3.Barclays Center
620 Atlantic Ave., at Flatbush Ave., Prospect Heights;917-618-6700

Mammoth stars need a mammoth venue, and this sleek weathered-steel oculus accommodates those massive crowds while also catering to the individual concertgoer. Maybe it’s because one of the original co-owners was a musician (Jay Z), but at Barclays — which has hosted such diverse acts as Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, the family-friendly Barnum&贝利马戏团和不太友好的麦莉·赛勒斯(Miley Cyrus) - 登机手续时间很快,诸如Calexico和Fatty'Cue之类的食物选择实际上是开胃的,对于竞技场来说,视线实际上是在做这些行为justice.

4.Jazz at Lincoln Center
百老汇时代华纳中心60thSt., 5thfl。;212-258-9800

纽约爵士乐迷的确是世界上最幸运的人,有舒适的场地Iridium,约翰·佐恩(John Zorn)的石头,, 和Blue Noteserving up the best in the genre. But for a real dazzler of a night, head to the Time Warner Center for the jazz arm of Lincoln Center, where legend Wynton Marsalis is the artistic director for this trio of venues: the smaller头晕的俱乐部可口可乐,曾接待过Stevie Wonder之类的人;多功能的玫瑰剧院;还有Appel Room,这是一个空间的石头震撼力。在这里,音乐家被放置在俯瞰哥伦布圆圈和中央公园的50 x 83英尺墙的前面。Appel Room也是受欢迎的美国歌簿系列的所在地,该系列主持了其他类型的行为,例如St. Vincent,Talib Kweli和CourtneyLove.

5.卡内基音乐厅
154 W. 57thSt.,在第七大街。212-247-7800

如此标志性的场所有自己的笑话(打孔线:练习,练习,练习),卡内基音乐厅是声望场所的黄金标准,原始声学在主霍尔(Isaac Stern Auditorium/Ronald O.)中达到了五个层次。佩雷尔曼舞台)。First conceived of as a venue for classical acts and orchestras, Carnegie didn’t start booking rock acts until 1955, and then the Beatles charmed their way in for two shows in 1964. Today you can see everyone from the Met Orchestra to Patti Smith, though it’s best to avoid comedy bookings here: From the top tier, performers tend to look like tiny joke-tellingspecks.

6.乔的酒吧
425 Lafayette St.,Nr。astor pl。;212-967-7555

如果您喜欢的艺术家正在乔的酒吧表演,请去。Nowhere else rivals this cabaret-style nightclub in its chummy atmosphere and sound quality, hosting multimedia performances by acts like Bridget Everett, who roams the floor (and, if you’re lucky, sticks her boobs in your face), and Janelle Monáe, who has danced on tables. There is a food or drink minimum, but, since the menu was overhauled by Andrew Carmellini in 2012, you’ll actually want to eat here

7.金砖四国Celebrate Brooklyn! at前景公园
前景公园Bandshell, 62 West Dr., nr. Prospect Park W., Park Slope;718-683-5600

中央公园的Summerstage阵容可能是最广泛的范围,但是为了便于访问,食物选择以及通常负担得起和愉快的时光,我们更喜欢其国王的县兄弟,金砖四国Celebrate Brooklyn! (formerly: Celebrate Brooklyn!) in Prospect Park. The majority of shows — which in the past have included Mission of Burma and Sigur Rós — are free, with a $3 suggested donation. But even if they aren’t and funds are low, you can always set up a picnic outside the fence and stargaze with your own personal soundtrack.
