Know Your Venue: Highline Ballroom

Highline Ballroom is my favorite venue in New York City. Ever since the Knitting Factory relocated to Williamsburg in 2009, Highline is the place to catch the scene's lastest and greatest up-and-coming bands. Located in NYC's trendy meatpacking district, Highline is the coolest and most affordable place to see great live music. Whether you want to be in the middle of the crowd or or just hang out on a couch on the balcony and feast on some delicious eats, this place is awesome. The space is a prefect size and meeting and greeting band members is super easy due to the layout. Also, it's likely you'll run into a bunch of industry people checking out their newest projects. (Do yourself a favor and introduce yourself!) I've seen so many amazing shows from an array of artists ranging from British import Little Boots to Long Island's hometown heroes, Envy On The Coast. Great venue. Great scene. If you're looking for a cool place to hang, there's always something at Highline.
