    Love this music venue - big enough to attract amazing bands and small enough to feel intimate. Great food and wine vendors too (though if you go often you will notice there's not much variety)

    Home to Central Park SummerStage, featuring a lineup of every type of music imagineable. Get there early if you plan to catch one of their free shows.

    Live Music! Get the schedule for great free shows, and come early! There'll only be room until they're all full, and most shows they have are amazing! Ticketed shows support the Summerstage program!

    One of the better outdoor venues. Keeps things intimate with a relatively small crowd. Great food options but the beers are too small.

    Home of NYC Summerstage where thousands of New Yorkers rock out to free pop/rock/international concerts all summer long, rain or shine! If you have not been here, this is a must do!

    If you're thinking about which beer to order, ask for the Allagash White if it's a hot, sunny day

    Skip the "concerts" put on by Good Morning America. (Sia's "concert" was a total of 3 songs stretched over and hour and fifteen minutes.)

    Don't do Mile End here. Takes longer and tastes worse than you want. Although I do like the Brooklyn one.

    don't pay for concert tickets! You can make a picnic and hear the show perfectly from behind the fences outside.
