LINCOLN CENTER’S NEW SPACE

By Susan Reiter

Lincoln Center has a new outpost on Broadway. The David Rubenstein Atrium, located mid-block between 62nd and 63rd Streets, stretches from Broadway to Columbus Avenue, with entrances at both ends. Designers intend it to provide a place to meet before and after performances, and to be a one-stop resource for those planning to attend any of Lincoln Center’s performances. Plus, every Thursday evening, the space becomes a performance venue in its own right, thanks to Target Free Thursdays. This series of free 8:30 p.m. events—offered 52 weeks a year (including Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve this year)—will showcase representatives of the Lincoln Center constituent organizations, as well as performing artists from community partner organizations and student ensembles.
