If you plan in advance, visiting the David H. Koch Theater can be a seamless experience, even for first-time visitors to New York City. The theater is located in the heart of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, easily accessible by public transit, rideshares, taxis, and walking routes. Understanding the various options can ensure you arrive on time, avoid unnecessary stress, and fully enjoy your evening at this iconic performing arts venue.

Subway Access

The New York City subway offers a convenient and cost-effective option. The NYC 1 train at 66th Street–Lincoln Center brings you directly to the theater’s entrance. The A, B, C, and D trains serve 59th Street–Columbus Circle, which requires a 10-minute walk north along Broadway or Central Park West. 

If you’re a first-time visitor, you may find it helpful to purchase a MetroCard in advance. You can also use OMNY contactless payment for smoother travel.

Rideshare and Taxi Options

Rideshare services provide flexible drop-off and pick-up points at Lincoln Center Plaza. You’ll find the official taxi stands along Columbus Avenue and 65th Street. 

If you’re an evening traveler, you might want to build in extra time for traffic. Allowing a buffer for timely arrival at the theater is even more crucial during special events or holidays.

Walking Routes and Safety

Using the Lincoln Center Parking Garage means you can take elevators from the plaza for a step-free route directly to the theater. However, even if you park nearby or arrive by subway, the walk to the David H. Koch Theater should be short, safe, and simple to navigate. If you’re arriving from one of the subway stations, you’ll likely follow Broadway or Columbus Avenue, which takes you via well-lit sidewalks and pedestrian crossings. 

MetroCard and City App Tips

Navigating the city’s transit system is easier with technology. A MetroCard or OMNY payment allows unlimited subway and bus rides for the duration of your stay, offering a cost-effective way to explore the area.

Transit apps like Google Maps, Citymapper, and Transit App provide real-time schedules, route planning, and alerts for service changes. Visitors should check the MTA website for weekend or overnight service changes that may affect travel plans.
