A warm summer welcome is headed to Lincoln Square as the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District (BID) today announced the return and expansion of its FREE lunchtime summer concert series - Lincoln Square BID’s Summer Jazz Sensations – every Wednesday from Noon to 1:30 PM beginning on June 19, 2024 and running through September 18, 2024. The outdoor performances will be held in Dante Park, Broadway between 63rd & 64th Streets, in the heart of the Lincoln Square neighborhood. The expansion of the summer concert series is also a celebration of the vibrancy of the Lincoln Square neighborhood, which has seen 18 new businesses, including restaurants, open since 2023 with more to come. Several of Lincoln Square’s eateries are partnering with the BID to provide concert goers with a taste of the neighborhood. Le Botaniste will join on opening day and four other dates throughout the summer (July 10, July 31, August 21, September 11), as will Café Paradiso (July 17, July 24) to offer some light fare for nominal cost. The Lincoln Square BID hopes to announce additional restaurant partners soon. Up to date information on participating eateries can be found on the Lincoln Square w...
