Fodor's Review:

City Center has a neo-Moorish look (it was built in 1923 for the Ancient and Accepted Order of the Mystic Shrine). Pause as you enter to admire the beautifully ornate tile work that plasters the lobby. The 2,750-seat main stage is perfectly suited for its role as a showplace for world-class dance troupes (including American Ballet Theatre and Alvin Ailey) and special theatrical events. The popular Encores! musicals-in-concert series is staged here, as are—on the smaller City Center Stages I and II —a number of productions and programs of the Manhattan Theatre Club.

  • Subway: N, Q, R, W to 57th St./7th Ave.; F to 57th St./6th Ave.
