Premium New York travel tricks? If you’re not a paint and sip kind of person, try Act & Sip, a beer-fueled acting workshop in an Off-Broadway Theater with expert instructors. They pair students off with partners and hand over the pages to a scene from a well-known iconic NYC sitcom or movie, offering tips along the way to help performers conquer stage fright and discover their inner actor. This event is perfect for bachelorette parties, after-work outings, or just a fun night with friends to get on stage with a little help from liquid courage. You don’t need any experience, but you must be 21 or older and BYOB.

The August Wilson Theater is located on 245 West 52nd Street in midtown Manhattan and is one of the larger theaters on Broadway. It has a capacity of 1,222 seats and is divided into an orchestra and mezzanine sections. Each evening the August Wilson turns into a pretty wild high school! Another great offer are the TKTS booths scattered around Times Square, and Theater District. There you can purchase cheaper tickets without a special discounted code. Also, the TKTS sells tickets for multiple Broadway shows, which might be a big convenience if you want to book seats for more than one musical. On the downside, the lines there are pretty, pretty long (set aside an hour or more). Still, if you don’t manage to buy from the theater itself, there are numerous licensed providers that will sell you affordable tickets for great seats. Several vendors provide excellent tickets for “Mean Girls: The Musical”.Bear in mind that these websites apply an additional service fee (usually around $10-$15 per ticket).

If I were you I wouldn’t buy Broadway tickets in advance at the moment. I know there are a few sites that will sell you tickets. But there are two things you need to be aware of. First, with all the uncertainty at present, there is a good chance that the particular performance for which you purchase tickets will be cancelled. This means that you will be on the phone for hours trying to get your money back. In 2020 there were a few large Broadway ticket companies that were not able to issue refunds quickly because the money they had collected were simply spent. I think you will be able to get your money but you might have to wait a little. I believe even ticketmaster had some delays with refunds for Broadway purchases. Second, ticket prices seem to be quite expensive now. Let’s take Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre for example. Vividseats will sell you tickets for June, but the primary market (ticketmaster or the box office) won’t . And the prices are starting from $164 (which doesn’ include the service fees which can be another $30-$40 per ticket) for the Rear Mezzanine. Generally you can find seats for Wicked in the Rear Mezz for $70-$80 per ticket. Read a lot more details on TripAdvisor Broadway 2021.

The Empire State Building is one of New York’s most famous landmark buildings and key tourist attractions. The 381-meter-tall, 102-storey building was the tallest in the world until the 1 World Trade Center tower rose higher, 41 years later. Topped with a mooring mast for airships, the Empire State Building immediately became a landmark and a symbol for NYC when it opened in 1931. There are actually two observatories atop the Empire State Building, but both offer astounding views. On clear days, you can see up to 80 miles, looking into the neighboring states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The 86th Floor Observatory (1,050 feet) is the city’s highest open-air observation deck, and what most people are expecting to find when they go up the Empire State Building. If it feels familiar, it’s because this area has been featured in countless movies and TV shows. Reached by high-speed, automatic elevators, it has both a glass-enclosed area, which is heated in winter and cooled in summer, and spacious outdoor promenades on all four sides of the building. Views are incredible. The Top Deck on the 102nd Floor stands 1,250 feet above the bustling streets below. While you are 16 storeys higher, the viewing area here is enclosed.

NYC, a city forever in flux, is impossible to “see” in one visit. You just have to resign yourself to that fact, unless you move here (and maybe not even then), you’ll only barely scratch the surface! By the time you leave, new places will have cropped up. This city is home to thousands of restaurants, hundreds of museums, attractions, plays, and quirky things to do. Last weekend, I was walking down the street and stumbled into a (delicious) Japanese food festival. It was just there! You never know what you will find in NYC. As a traveler, how do you visit NYC?
