As many of you frequent concert-goers know, the new David Geffen Hall has been finished. Everything about every part of the environment is exciting, from the concourse outside to the hall itself. The new lobby is absolutely gorgeous and inviting, the staff is always helpful, and the walk up to the hall is easy. The hall, itself, has amazing acoustics and has a bunch of small tokens/Easter Eggs that you can catch about the designs and the whole procession of the concert. (i.e; the twinkling spherical lights that have their own little show before the real show) And of course, the NY Phil never fails to deliver an exhilarating and unforgettable performance every day.

El Aguila is makes delectable food at inexpensive prices, and easily outclasses any generic Mexican cuisine restaurant like Chipotle in all forms. I got a chicken burrito for $7.50 and considered getting a tamale to actually fill me up, but once I saw the actual size of it, I knew I didn't need anything else besides an ice-cold horchata to wash it all down.
