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.
Julliard, with which Columbia has a formal affiliation, is nearby and is vaguely part of the center.
To get there, take the 1 train to the 66th Street-Lincoln Center subway station.
