The Best Things To Do In NYC featuringMusic & Records

Music & Records

New York City is home to many crafts. Music is one of them. Locals share guides featuring some of the most iconic music venues around, from Irving Plaza once voted one of the 50 Best Concert Venues of America, to the Music Hall of Williamsburg, the same space where Elliott Smith performed some of his last concerts before his death. You can also still find vibrant record shops like Rough Trade NYC to Co-op 87 records.
