See also Wikipedia's article about "Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts".

Lincoln Center is a collection of performing arts institutions located on the Upper West Side, near where Broadway awkwardly intersects with Amsterdam Avenue.

Columbia students receive few specific discounts at its many venues, although all New York college students are typically welcome to $10 performances of the City Opera on some nights.

GSAPP alum Max Abramovitz was the designer of the center's Avery Fisher Hall.

To get there, take the 1 train to the 66th Street-Lincoln Center subway station.

Julliard, with which Columbia has a formal affiliation, is nearby and is vaguely part of the center. Fordham has an adjacent campus as well. Columbia was also planning a physical location along the Hudson River near here, on land owned by Donald Trump, but PrezBo nixed those plans and chose to build a new campus in Manhattanville instead.
