James John (Jay) Cudney IV: Beautiful venue. Good food and service. Go at least once a quarter to see a musical guest and have dinner. Several stars usually there too.
Concert Ticket Agency: A must for all Broadway fans! From Ben Vereen to Patti LuPone. Food/drink minimum, but the small plates are delicious. Not a bad seat in the house, staff is very accommodating and performance-friendly
Andrea Mathias: The perfect place for a first date, catch up with friends, or just to slip away from reality for a while. Also, I will do bad things to get my hands on some of their truffle Mac & Cheese.
Johan Richard: This is such an amazing, classic and beautiful place to visit. Comfortable outdoor seating. Great concert & performance given by some of famous artists. Excellent fountains. Feels very relaxing here.
Gossip Girl: Art is arousing—just ask J. She couldn't stop swooning when N took her here to see The Nutcracker. (I Will Always Love You) Read more.
Madonna: October 18, 2005 - "I'm Going To Tell You A Secret" tour documentary premiere.

Peter Crysdale: This is a beautiful space with a vertical garden and fast wifi! A good place to spend a few hours.
Lincoln Center: The David Rubenstein Atrium is the first LEED certified, "green" building on the Lincoln Center campus. Don't forget to enjoy free Wi-Fi access.
Josh S.: This place seems more like a homeless shelter on the occasions I've been here. All the people are weird and there's something creepy about the plants on the walls. Terrible lighting.
