Continuing north past Columbus Circle you'll find Lincoln Center. Home to The Metropolitan Opera, The New York City Ballet, The New York Philharmonic, Juilliard and countless other performing arts groups, festivals, you name it. If you can't make it to a performance at least stop by the fountain and plaza in front of Lincoln Center. There is usually some type of outdoor concert or film. In the summer's the Met Opera also broadcasts operas for free right on the plaza. Across the street you'll find a casual wine bar and coffee shop from famed Chef Daniel Boulud with standing tables over looking Lincoln Center. Perfect place to grab a glass of wine before dinner on the Upper West Side or a show at Lincoln Center.
