Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts 
Concerts, Center City
Fodor's Review:
This striking complex evokes Philadelphia's traditional redbrick structures, while making a contemporary design statement. The 450,000-square-foot facility by architect Rafael Viñoly includes the 2,500-seat cello-shape Verizon Hall, the more intimate 650-seat Perelman Theater, a café and restaurant, a gift shop, rooftop terrace, and public plaza -- -all topped by a dramatic glass-vaulted roof. Along with its resident companies, such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra, and the American Theater Arts for Youth, the center presents touring orchestral, jazz, and dance performances.
