After-dark diversions are as intrinsic to New York City living as morning coffee - walk the streets once the sun goes down and you'll discover there are almost as many people about as there are during the day, dining out and heading to their favorite jazz club, perhaps, or the most talked-about theater performance of the week.
Whether right on Broadway or somewhere beyond, the world's finest stage productions take place right in the city. Theater is part of New Yorkers' lifestyle, so there's always a long list of options from which to choose - many of which take place right in Midtown Manhattan.
Another local favorite is the Metropolitan Opera, where the best conductors, singers, dancers and other artists display their talent. This year, the Met will welcome productions of La Traviata, Tosca and Wagner's Der Fliegende Hollander, among many others.
Jazz lovers can also have their fill here. Legendary music houses include Birdland Jazz Club, which opened 60 years ago with headliner Charlie Parker and which still attracts some of the biggest names in the genre.
