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

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

New York,
NY

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…

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.

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.

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…

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…
