Barge Music at the Brooklyn Bridge Park

If you like classical music, New York is all for you. There are no shortage of concerts at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the dozens of music schools across the city. All of those are nice and grand, but let me ask you this: How's the view?

Barge Music is unlike any other concert venue you'll ever attend. Partly because, well, you're on a boat that's moored right smack underneath the Brooklyn Bridge (the barge used to be a floating coffee shop). Partly because the New York skyline is the perfect backdrop to the impressive and highly talented instrumentalists. And partly because the setting is so intimate, it's hard not to be completely absorbed by the music.

Check out the website and event calendar HERE. Also, every Saturday at 3pm, there's a free one-hour concert especially for families in the neighborhood. And bonus: there's a student discount of $15 tickets instead of the regular $30!
