Can You Bring a crossbody bag to Radio City Music Hall?
A small clear crossbody bag may work at Radio City Music Hall, but standard crossbody bags are not permitted due to the theater's clear bag requirement. If your crossbody is small enough to qualify as a clutch (up to 6"×9") and is made of clear material, it should pass. A clear fanny pack is a reliable hands-free alternative.
