It will cost you $10, but well worth it for not having to wake up at the crack of dawn or stand in line with hundreds of pushy tourists in the heat all day.
Highline Ballroom offers plenty of concerts that are incredibly cheap and, get this, indoors!
This week my friends and I went to The Roots show at Highline and had a blast! Good news for Roots fans: they play all the time at Highline. Their next show is June 16, which means you need to purchase your tickets ASAP - they will most likely be sold out by Saturday.
The band usually comes on around midnight, but the crowds gather early. We arrived around 11PM and the line was already down the block. Luckily for our fedora-wearing crew, Nate had a press pass so he and Colin got in early and held a nice space front and center. The lesson: if you don't have a friend in the media, get there early to secure a good spot - it's standing room only.
They put on a great show that the very mixed crowd could all jam to. Mos Def made an appearance along with a sultry women who sang a very slow and blues-y rendition of Flo Rida's "Right Round."
I just found this video of the concert - you can see our group on the bottom-left corner, rocking out, fedoras bouncing and bracelet-covered wrists waving in the air!
The Roots are on fire, but your wallet won't be burning up!
