Geocache Description:


Shout out to NYWanderer and New Market Mallers for their help in revising and reviving this cache post-adoption. Y'all are great.

Solve the puzzle below to figure out where the cache is hidden.

Every year in the Month of April (on 4/26 to be precise), the David H. Koch Theater (formerly New York State Theater), home to the New York City Ballet, celebrates its anniversary. The New York City Ballet was first envisioned as a place where dancers could be trained by the world's greatest ballet masters. Today, the New York City Ballet is the largest dance organization in all of America, with about 90 members. During its winter and spring seasons, the New York City Ballet stages on average 60 ballets. In its repertory are more than 150 works, most of which were choreographed by George Balanchine, and set to music by a variety of renowned composers, some born hundreds of years ago, and some still alive today.

The cache is an Altoids Tin hidden a short distance from the listed coordinates. Extra stealth is needed to maintain confidentiality of the hide.

I am testing out another way to share the puzzle since third party image sites aren't working here anymore. Find the puzzle HERE.
