Watch Live Radio Tapings and Concerts From Close Range

The Greene Space puts New York Public Radio behind glass at street level, then invites the audience into the room. WNYC and WQXR hosts run tapings, discussions, and concerts here, and the compact layout keeps every seat within a few rows of the microphone. Regulars point to the behind the scenes view of live production, from the boom mics to the on air cues, along with room acoustics that hold up for a string trio or a spoken word set. A cash bar pours beer, wine, and a few non alcoholic options while the schedule runs. Just know that start times can drift later than the ticket says, which comes with the territory of live radio. Visitors rate the space 4.7 across more than 130 reviews. You will find it on Charlton Street in Hudson Square, a short walk from the western edge of SoHo.
