Constructed by Oscar Hammerstein in 1906, this dazzling multi-purpose event and concert space has hosted everything from NASCAR galas and WWE slamfests to fashion shows and The Pixies’ recent reunion residency. The capacity varys from 1,000 to 3,500, depending on the set-up, and most shows are standing-room only, which only adds to its definitive rock and roll vibe. Arriving early helps, so as to avoid bad seats and lengthy lines at the door.
