What to do and see in Upper Manhattan (Uptown), New York (NY): The Best Concerts & Shows
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

If you want to step back into a bygone era of the small, cozy elbow touching Harlem parlor, with live "in your face" outrageous jazz musicians, you must come to see Bill Saxton, international world class sax man and lead of the Harlem All Stars

Watched Patience Higgins lead a quartet tonight and left with overcome expectations and a big smile on my face. All four musicians were incredibly talented. I had seen Marcio before and love him and was blown away by the drummer, I feel terrible as I forgot his name, memorable with and without one!

Our 6th time in NY but first time in Apollo. Our only regrets that we waited so long. It was a lot of fun with good Music and best audience I ever have seen - all dancing and having a party

Just a few steps from the legendary Apollo Theatre, Showman's is a rare pearl in the busy and cahotic NYC. An autentic atmosphere can be breath here in this cozy classy bar. The jam sessions are sensational. No matters you're a tourist or a random customer, you'll feel at home here.
