My new favorite is Jazz at lincoln center. Woody allen and his band plays at the carlyle hotel on monday nights, the cover is a little more expensive tho.
Agree 100%. I grew up in NYC, and there is so much variety. I've had really memorable meals in Chinatown for practically nothing, which are sometimes better than the $2k+ excursions to Alain Ducasse, Per Se, Daniel, etc. I've seen Wagner from the front orchestra in the Met, but some of the nosebleeds in Carnegie offer really great sound + views. I always walked through the park past the Met to get home from school... +1 for not paying $20 :P As for recommendations, my favorite restaurant in Manhattan is Aureole.
