Ivy LiApril 22, 2013In the summer time, grab some gelato from a nearby vendor and walk around the plaza. Be sure to snap a photo at the fountain and walk around to experience the finest cultural center in NYC.
This is one of my favorite places in NYC. If you're a culture fan visiting NY: catch a B-way show, hit up MoMA or the Met, and watch something at Lincoln Center. Also, the fountain is spectacular.

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍December 7, 2021A New York cultural icon. Home to the NY Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera House and The American Ballet Theater. I'm always enamoured with its glorious architectural design and art performances
Caro AguilarNovember 11, 2014If you're not from New York, bear in mind that New Yorkers arrive at movies 20-30 minutes early to ensure getting a good seat. Arrive on time for a flic in NYC and you'll sit in the front row.
FRITZ fritztheyodelerJune 20, 2015Here's a real tip... be nimble. Be quick. You gotta be crafty too to make your way around all of the old people at intermission & at the conclusion of any performance there. Wow, there's a lot of 'em.
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014As a New Yorker, I'm always looking for peaceful, intriguing places to sit and see the city from, and Lincoln Center is definitely a jewel of the city. Read more
This is now the destination for New York Fashion Week after being in Bryant Park for years..I miss seeing the tents but this location is actually really great for all the shows it's convenient
- Johan RichardMay 5, 2021This 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.
Leisl EvansOctober 14, 2020There's nothing better at UWS than relaxing on a perfect, warm evening by the Lincoln Center fountain. You can capture the incredible music that floats to you from the meeting in the cool night air.
fred rodriguesSeptember 23, 2018I love to come here to see the fountain and walk around. Beautiful place.
Jumpman23January 11, 2013Each year at Lincoln Center for NY’s Fashion Week, you can find Carmelo Anthony in the front row. Watch Melo talk with NY legend Bernard King about his evolving style: http://youtu.be/k0oDys_vry8- Paul BresslerJune 11, 2015If you are just going for a tour, or just visiting without going to an event, go AFTER 3PM! If you go too early, the shades are closed. You'll miss the 30' tall paintings by Marc Chagall, a highlight.
Concert Ticket AgencySeptember 21, 2012Beautiful cultural landmark in NYC. Catch an opera, a ballet, a screening of your favorite film and a talk from the director afterwards. Experience art, music and more. And of course, the fountain!
New York HabitatNovember 22, 2011Dress to impress here and get a glimpse of some of the best performances in the world. There is so much diversity you can't go wrong with any show but we love the Met Opera in the wintertime.
Nothing better on the UWS than relaxing by the Lincoln Center fountain on a beautiful, warm evening. You may even catch the incredible music from the met floating to you on the cool night air.
Julie SosciaJanuary 29, 2019Classic venue to watch the Opera or ballet. In the wintertime, catch a performance of the Nutcracker! There isn't a bad seat anywhere.
CompassApril 21, 2014Lincoln Center is one of the city’s most iconic cultural institutions. Opera, chamber music, theater, jazz, film, and dance can all be found in the 16-acre complex.
The Corcoran GroupAugust 13, 2010The fountain cycles through a water show every hour, but beware if you're sitting on the marble edges as the water shoots up very fast and you can (and will) get wet!
Huaisi CenFebruary 12, 2016Gorgeous building, classic performance during the year, and fun summer at Lincoln Center festival during the summer.
- Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018Classic venue, make sure to catch a performance of the Nutcracker classic in the winter time.
JPDecember 24, 2015Hang out at the fountain, see an opera, the ballet, or the philharmonic. Great programs on a beautiful campus and concert halls
EdwulfJune 25, 2015Check in advance for tickets!!! Summer is a good season (July) opera, ballet, and all performing arts! Also black swan movie was filmed here!
Great and friendly staff. Always helpful and a truly amazing collection. They also have rotating exhibitions.
Andrew WeinsteinMay 1, 2012As a music major, you should be exposed to professional musicians at work. Check out the NY Philharmonic, Met Opera, or whatever floats your boat in NYC. Just take train from Mineola.

Mike Bowler SrOctober 12, 2013This building is beautiful and Fisher Auditorium has wonderful seating. Especially 3rd row center :-) #GenBlue
SiobhánFebruary 29, 2020The problem is it’s become a tourist trap with no good food around unless you’re super upper class, so it’s such a weird vibe when you’re just a normal New Yorker going to a show who’ll get hungry.
RMLJune 18, 2013Sitting at the Lincoln Center eating lunch and relaxing. Admiring the beautiful glass doors.
Jonathan AlmonteSeptember 10, 2014Loving the booth the samsung experience set up! The VR is insanely real #samsung
Best theater in town. beautifully constructed & Not a bad seat in the house.
Sofia FelixApril 26, 2012Go to the central fountain, face the Opera House, sit smack in the middle and take it all in. Enjoy the Chagalls and your photo-op. You're welcome.- Caro AguilarNovember 11, 2014Lincoln Center offers over 400 events a year, all featuring performers who are the best-of-the-best in their field 💁
- RMLJune 17, 2013Watching as they do a modeling photo shot....hmmm tip models in person are not as pretty until they are air brushed!!!! Thank goodness for the air brush!!!
Gabriel HayesJuly 10, 2015An amazing place for culture in New York City. Saw my first opera and my first ballet here.- The fountain shows in the summer make this a favorite place for late night strolls in the city that never sleeps.
AlAnoud A AlGhunaimNovember 4, 2021Beautifully constructed, the building itself takes you back in time and yet it still has a modern touch♥️ time will fly in here and I’m sure you’ll enjoy every second✨
Whatever you go there for! Duh, Theatre, Arts, Festivals, Free Concerts etc.
