点评:United Palace is one of the five Loew’s wonder theaters. Located in Washington Heights and host to the Tony awards, this theater also hosts musical events and films. This review pertains to the historical happy hour tour.
Tickets were 30 dollars each, with a four dollar and some cent service fee. This included the tour and a few beverages, such as canned wine, canned cocktails, beer, water, soda. Most people got at least two drinks, and at the end of the tour, the guide told us to help ourselves to whatever was left over, as it had already been struck from the budget, ha!
Should also be noted that the proceeds go to maintaining the building.
Our tour guide was funny and engaging. The venue is ornate, with a ton of different decor styles (this was the last of the theaters built, so they “threw the kitchen sink at it,” in the guide’s words. It was interesting to hear about the venue’s life as a theater, it’s rescue by a flamboyant preacher, its life as a church, and its return to glory, with the help of Hamilton wordsmith, Lin Manuel Miranda.
The tour lasts about an hour and a half. You get to see most all parts of the theater and even go on stage.
The Washington Heights neighborhood is full of Latin/Dominican restaurants and very walkable, so it would make a great evening with a walk and meal afterward.
Tours are capped at 30 people, but I don’t think that many were on my tour. All information can be found on the United Palace website.
翻译:联合皇宫是勒夫的五个奇迹剧院之一。该剧院位于华盛顿高地,是托尼奖的举办地,还举办音乐活动和电影。这篇评论涉及历史欢乐时光之旅。
门票每张30美元,另加4美元和几美分的服务费。这包括游览和一些饮料,例如罐装葡萄酒、罐装鸡尾酒、啤酒、水、苏打水。大多数人至少喝了两杯,游览结束时,导游告诉我们剩下的就随便喝,因为它已经从预算中扣除了,哈!
还应该指出的是,收益将用于维护建筑物。
我们的导游很有趣而且很有吸引力。场地很华丽,有很多不同的装饰风格(这是最后一座建成的剧院,所以用导游的话说,他们“把厨房水槽扔到了它上面”)。听到这个场地作为剧院的生活很有趣,它被一位华丽的传教士拯救,它作为教堂的生活,并在汉密尔顿文字大师林·曼努尔·米兰达的帮助下重获荣耀。
游览持续约一个半小时。您可以参观剧院的大部分区域,甚至登上舞台。
华盛顿高地附近遍布拉丁/多米尼加餐厅,非常适合步行,因此,饭后散步和用餐将是一个美好的夜晚。
旅行团的人数上限为 30 人,但我认为参加我的旅行团的人并不多。所有信息均可在联合宫网站上找到。
