I have an acquaintance who every year goes to NYC from the west coast for a week just to see shows. That is on my bucket list.
Sure, some come here but I stil can’t afford them!
When you go, visit TKTS in Duffy Square (47th & Broadway.) The sell day-of-performance tickets about two hours beforehand for roughly half price. Unless you want to see a particular show that is popular, such as The Phantom of the Opera or Wicked, that’s probably your bets bet for Broadway tickets.
And do stop at Sardi’s (44th between Broadway & 8th). It’s the place with all the caricatures of theatre people on the wall. Their cannelloni is the dish for which they’re justifiably famous.
