    What’s can I say, it’s the Met. Not only is the building itself gorgeous, but you’ll rarely find another occasion where people get dressed to the nines to see a show. The experience is exactly what you’d expect from old NY “high art” and certainly does not disappoint. Also, if you’re under 40, there are special prices for tickets that you can grab that allow you to have a free drink or so, plus better seats at that price.

    What a wonderful experience , attending the opera Turandot exceeded all expectations. The acoustics are marvelous, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Concession products are a bit expensive and very limited in the choices. Overall a once in a lifetime experience! I would go back in a heartbeat!
