November is a busy month in New York City, with holiday lights going up and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade causing a viewing frenzy not only on the city sidewalks but nation-wide.

It’s also the launch of the holiday season and treasured moments with family and friends. One of the best ways to make memories in New York City is by seeing a once-in-a-lifetime show. From the Barclay Center to Broadway, the options are bountiful.

This month alone, Ariana Grande, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, and even Elton John will all perform various concert dates. You can catch star comedians like Bill Maher and Jerry Seinfeld. Aladdin, Evita, Hamilton, The Lion King, Disney On Ice, and The Rockettes are all showing as well. In sum, there are countless options for seeing stars in the City of Dreams.

If the big headliners don’t draw you in, there are always opportunities in this city for discovering a quirky masterpiece or a gem in the rough. 

One show that is sure to satisfy may note be widely marketed, but it’s a classic. Ring in the holiday season on November 25 with the 9th annual “Christmas in New York” concert at Stern Auditorium in Carnegie Hall.
