Arts & Culture

If they are in season, you will not want to miss the NYCB. New York City Ballet is one of the foremost dance companies in the world, with a roster of spectacular dancers and an unparalleled repertory. The Company was founded in 1948 by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, and it quickly became world-renowned for its athletic and contemporary style. Jerome Robbins joined NYCB the following year and, with Balanchine, helped to build the astounding repertory and firmly establish the Company in New York.

Of course, don't forget the Met Opera, the NY Philharmonic, LC Jazz, tours of Lincoln Center and so much more. This is the epicenter of the arts and with a calendar offering something for everyone. The tour is fascinating and reveals much about how the arts community has evolved in NYC over the years.
