Alice Chao on Where to Eat
I would eat before or after the event as the lines during intermission got much too long.
-
Alice Chao on Where to Park
I'd recommend taking the subway since it leaves you at the door of the theater.

Loved the historical bits supplied by band leader and FANTASTIC bassist Carlos Henriquez; flipped over seeing the amazing, world-famous Giovanni Hidalgo on multiple congas; swooned over Louie Bauzo's shekele; and adored Ignacio Berroa's drumset magic. Oh, and the dancers were wonderful, too! And the venue is gorgeous--sound in the round.Written on Jan 18 2010

Description
Dizzy Gillespie was the first American to fully fathom the rhythms of Cuba. Tito Puente was the first Latin bandleader to make the mambo and other popular Afro-Cuban rhythms and dances accessible to American audiences. Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra bassist Carlos Henriquez kicks off the Latin in Manhattan series by leading the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the greatest living conguero Giovanni Hidalgo and the hottest Latin drummer Ignacio Berroa in a program dedicated to two luminaries who fundamentally changed the way Americans listened to jazz.
