What's great in your area?




Rent
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District, Manhattan/Fashion District

208 W 41st St
New York, NY 10036

Dave A. writes: Awesome awesome show and after being in love w/ the music for years finally had a chance to see it.

I had high expectations but the current Broadway show left me a little disappointed.  We got an overweight Roger and a truly lame Collins.  The cast…

Bronx Museum of the Arts
Neighborhood: Bronx/Concourse

1040 Grand Concourse
Bronx, NY 10456

Lisa F. writes: This is a cool museum tucked beside the Grand Concourse up in the Bronx. It's a mini trek for those who are based downtown or in BK, but it makes for a nice day trip. Unlike a lot of popular museums, which seems to be very crowded on the weekends,…

John Golden Theatre
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District

252 West 45th Street
New York, NY 10036

Vikram A. writes: I came here to see Avenue Q, so if the theater staff rotate a lot based on the show, keep that in mind.

The staff was a little...off putting, at times. I get that they need to be efficient and all that, but there was a lot of gruffness about some of…

Marshall Stack
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Lower East Side

66 Rivington Street
New York, NY 10002

Victor L. writes: Went here with Eric S. for the nightcap last night, I agree it was okay, with a decidedly older crowd, or at least in the front of the bar. It's skinny, so unless it's not crowded don't bring a ton of people.

When Immigrant Song came on I started…

National Museum of the American Indian
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Financial District

1 Bowling Grn
New York, NY 10004

Flora G. writes: A completely underrated historic site and museum...The site of this museum is the old US Customs House built at the turn of the 20th century, the architecture alone is worth a visit to see.  It's right by my office and it doesn't matter how many…

Taylor Paul Dance Foundation Inc
Neighborhood: Manhattan/SoHo

552 Broadway
New York, NY 10012

Gregory P. writes: The Paul Taylor Dance Company is the premier dance company in the world as far as I'm concerned, but that could be because my daughter is one of the featured dancers in the company.

But if she weren't, I'd still give them 5 stars for their brilliant…

Museum of Sex

233 Fifth Ave
New York, NY 10016

Simona S. writes: Okay so this is my 100th review. That means I have written 99 reviews before this. Which makes this review, about the Museum of Sex, my 100th review. Now we're all on the same page. Good.

Does this place ACTUALLY deserve four stars? Maybe not, but I…

Pan Asian Repertory Theatre

520 8th Avenue
New York, NY 10018

Gourmet G. writes: Now in its twenty-ninth season, this Asian-American theater company provides opportunities for performers whose chances are limited by mainstream productions with few roles they can fill, and for playwrights whose voices otherwise would not be heard.…

Play by Play
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District, Manhattan/Fashion District

270 W 36th St Frnt 3
New York, NY 10018

kristine r. writes: This is essentially the same service as Audience Extras (see my Yelp review), with a few differences.  First, the price.  Instead of an $85 annual fee, it's $99 (plus an $8 start-up fee) for up to 2 tickets (depending on availability, they'll…

Argosy Book Store Inc
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Midtown East

116 E 59th St
New York, NY 10022

Imperial Theatre
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District

249 W 45th St
New York, NY 10036

Heath R. writes: C. took me to see August: Osage County here for my birthday last week. It's a wonderful theater. For this production, they built an entire house on stage for the set, and I doubt there's a bad seat in the house. We sat on the mezzanine level and had…

Lyceum Theatre
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District

149 W 45th St
New York, NY 10036

Ben C. writes: Classic old theater adorned with detailed ornamentation that seems appropriate rather than tacky.  Orchestra seating is comfortable.  The warm, welcoming atmosphere gives the theater-going experience a boost.  Staff are refreshingly friendly.  Just…

Shea Stadium
Neighborhood: Queens/Flushing Meadows

123-01 Roosevelt Ave
Flushing, NY 11368

Ryan C. writes: I'm a lifelong fan of the Mets, and I can honestly say that only old Jarry Park (former home of the former Expos, now the Nationals) rivaled Shea Stadium in terms of architectual gaudiness.  I was thrilled to learn that the new stadium, slated to…

New York, NY 10001

I love taking the dance fitness classes here. Mostly because I hate the gym and this is the best alternative ever. They have a great card system that means that indecisive, heavy traveling people…

Medieval Times Inc

149 Polito Ave
Lyndhurst, NJ 07071

Bill R. writes: The competition here was really intense. I thought there may be some of the fights spilling out to the parking lot.  
Very realistic performance!
Food still is a turn off and for the price, come on feed us well!!!

New York, NY 10012

Liiisa C. writes: I spent Labor Day walking around the city - Almost 4 hours solid.  Strolled by the Angelika.  Walked in to get descriptions of the movies currently playing.  Surprised by a great little cafe (Yes, it's been awhile since I've visited).

So much better…

Two Boots Pioneer Theater
Neighborhood: Manhattan/East Village

155 E 3rd St
New York, NY 10009

Sam P. writes: A great theater to know about if you're into the under-the-radar independent film scene.  I came here the other night to view a friend of mine in a film called "Special Needs."  He was great, but the movie...well, less so.  

The theater on the other…

Kenny's Castaways
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Greenwich Village

157 Bleecker St
New York, NY 10012

Kate T. writes: There's something about a sign on the table that says, 'Waiter service only at tables, please' that makes me think the wait staff will come by at some point to take orders. I guess i'll have to add that to the list of New York things that are easily…

The Duplex
Neighborhood: Manhattan/West Village

61 Christopher St
New York, NY 10014

Gina C. writes: Don't go on a straight date here.  Hot men kept sending over drinks to my boyfriend.  I got up to go to the bathroom and some guy that was singing with the pianist was rubbing his shoulders.  I took a shower when we got home and when I got out there…

What the heck is this thing?
This is where garbage goes to become "art"

I walked past here at least a dozen times…

AMC Empire 25
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District, Manhattan/Fashion District

234 W 42nd St
New York, NY 10036

RoDERICK a. writes: Usually i would give this theatre four stars. I tend to go on weekends for the first showing because its $6.00 matinee pricing. And its very easy to sneak into other theatres so you get your $6.00 worth.

But today was the absolute worst. I went to see…

237 W. 42nd Street
New York, NY 10036

peter d. writes: I saw the Rebirth Brass Band at BB King's last week. The show was DOPE.

There was an amazing vibe all night.  It wasn't the Maple Leaf on a Tuesday, but there was definitely a New Orleans flavor in the air.  By the end of the show, the stage was…

Queens Museum of Art

49th Ave at 111th St
Flushing, NY 11368

Natalia J. writes: This museum is small and out of the way, but I try to support the underdogs. The Panorama of New York City is definitely worth visiting. I was circling the whole thing trying to find my house. Hee. The amount of work put into it is amazing.

Kew Gardens Cinema
Neighborhood: Queens/Kew Gardens

8105 Lefferts Blvd
Kew Gardens, NY 11415

Chris L. writes: Forget the Angelika, this is the BEST place to see an indie movie in NYC. It's quite a hike but the theater is spectacular. Originally an adult movie house, it was closed down under Rudy's reign, it's now a small art deco theater that not only looks…

529 W 20th St
