"The World's Most Famous Arena," stacked above Penn Station, has hosted everyone from Ali to Elton's final bow.
What makes it special: The room every touring artist wants to headline, and a residency here still means you've made it.
Insider notes
- Sits right on top of Penn Station, so nearly every train and the LIRR dump you at the door.
- Sound varies wildly by section; the 100s and lower 200s are the safe bets.
- Bag policy is strict and lines are long, travel light and come early.
