Amateur Night at the Apollo
For an evening of serious entertainment, head up to Harlem's iconic
Apollo Theater for Amateur Night. Twenty dollar tickets make it the priciest date plan on our list, but it's definitely worth it. Amateur Night is the quintessential talent competition with a rich history that began in 1934. The legendary venue has launched the careers of icons such as
Stevie Wonder,
Michael Jackson,
James Brown, and
Lauryn Hill.
Amateur Night is every Wednesday at 7:30. Check out the list of upcoming competitors
