The Verve Pipe still tour the album that made The Freshmen inescapable in 1997, and Sony Hall is the right size to hear them properly. The room sits underneath the Paramount Hotel in the old Diamond Horseshoe space, all Art Deco curves and table seating. If you want a nineties alt-rock set on a Sunday night without a stadium queue, this is a well-chosen room for it.
What to expect
You descend from West 46th Street into a low, wide Art Deco room with tables closest to the stage and standing room behind them. Food and drink service runs before and during the show, so dinner and the concert can be the same booking. Expect a crowd that came specifically for the nineties material.
Good to know
- Take the N, Q, R, W or 1, 2, 3 to Times Square-42nd St and walk up to West 46th Street
- Table seating is a separate ticket type from general standing
- The venue is below street level with a lift available
- Best for nineties alt-rock listeners who want a seated option
- Restaurant Row is a block away if you want dinner first
