Carnegie Hall

Carnegie Hall is a concert venue in Manhattan, New York City. It is one of the most significant venues for classical as well as popular music in the United States, known not just for its beauty and history but also for its fine acoustics.

Location and folklore

Carnegie Hall is located at the southeast corner of Seventh Avenue and 57th Street, two blocks south of Central Park. A very old joke has become part of the folklore of the hall: Q: "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" A: "Practice, practice, practice." The Directions page of the Carnegie Hall Web site gently alludes to the joke
