Eight Days A Week: If You Are Going To A Concert, Here Is When To Go

If you are a person of a certain age going to a concert feels like a chore, what to see and when? Especially in New York where you are spoiled for choice, what day of the week do you want to go? Friday seems obvious… but is it? Let us help…

Monday – I know you think it sucks but it doesn’t. Sure, you will be dragging on Tuesday but after that you have three days to recover and also, if you want a ticket Monday is one of the easiest days of the week and however late, you’ve had a weekend so you are not as tired as you might be otherwise – Grade: B
