]]> Broadway is one of New York City’s most iconic cultural institutions, and getting a ticket for one of the shows is a dream come true. If you feel like the night is still young after your play is over, here are three restaurants where you should head afterward and mingle with the Broadway crowd.

Ellen’s Stardust Diner

If you want to experience the thrill of a Broadway show without paying for the ticket, Ellen’s Stardust Diner is the place to be! Singing waiters put this retro diner on the map, and many of them even went on to become Broadway performers after getting their head-start at Ellen’s.

Sardi’s Restaurant

Sardi’s is one of the most iconic restaurants in NYC’s Theater District, and it deserves all the attention coming its way. You’ll come here to check out the famous caricatures of Broadway stars lining the walls, but you’ll end up sticking around for the delicious classics of American cuisine on its menu.

Joe Allen

Joe Allen became a theatre industry institution over the years, serving as a meeting place for working actors, theater staff, and fans. It will win you over with its poster wall honoring Broadway flops and its signature American comfort food menu.

]]> If you’ve never been to a Broadway show, how would you imagine the experience? Do you imagine countless rows of seats? A massive auditorium? These assumptions wouldn’t be so far-fetched, considering the fact the Broadway is one of the most famous musical hubs in the entire world. However, the truth behind the Broadway vibe is a little bit different—and therein lies its ethereal charm.

The Shows Are More Intimate

For an area as lauded as Broadway, lying smack dab in the middle of Manhattan, it’s pretty crazy to think just how understated its theaters are. This is something that can be a bit of a shock to tourists who’ve never been to a Broadway show. They’re expecting to walk in to a massive auditorium, but instead most Broadway theaters are much more small and intimate.

However, this is actually a good thing instead of a bad thing. One of the reasons that Broadway has always been so appealing is that its viewers feel like they’re part of the show, and this is only possible with smaller theaters. In addition, each theater is tailor-made for a specific show, making the experience even more customized and one of a kind. It may throw you off to find Broadway shows so cozy and small, but you’ll be guaranteed to have the memory of a lifetime.

]]> If you’re a fan of musicals, then you probably have places like NYC’s Broadway or London’s West End on your destination list. The thing is, there’s more than one place you can see the same musical—and the question is, does it really matter where you see it? The answer to this question is tricky because it really depends on a handful of factors.

A Musical’s History

Weirdly enough, when it comes to musicals, it’s not just about the music and the performance. There’s also a lot of history that goes into each musical, which is why the place that you see it actually does make a difference. For instance, The Phantom of the Opera first premiered at Her Majesty’s Theatre in the West End in 1986, and later on Broadway where it played at the Majestic Theater in 1988. It’s been showing at both locations ever since. For people that have a true appreciation for musicals and their origin, they may have no other option but to see it in London. Such is the case with so many other musicals.

Just For the Music

But if you’re someone who appreciates musicals for just the music and not much else, then it really shouldn’t matter where you see it. Even if you do have a deep appreciation for the origin story of the musical, you’ll still have the time of your life seeing a musical at the place where it didn’t originally premiere.

]]> New York City is arguably the most famous city in America, and maybe even the entire world. It’s pretty much the international hub for foreign tourists who are interested in seeing the United States, and its concrete jungle symbolizes the American corporate lifestyle better than anything else. However, if you’re not so familiar with this iconic city, here’s a brief overview of its hottest locations.

Central Park

Central Park stretches all the way from 59th to 109th street, making it one of the largest parks in the entire world. But it’s so much more than just size. It provides ample grassy terrain for folks to relax, walk around with their family, listen to a jazz band improvise, jog, or enjoy a hot dog!

Statue of Liberty

Even if you know nothing about the Statue of Liberty, chances are you’ve seen what it looks like. You can easily visit this classic monument of Lady Liberty holding up her torch, and you even have the option to take an elevator up to her head!

Empire State Building

It was once the tallest building in the world—and although it has long since lost that title, it’s no less historic. By visiting this iconic building, you’ll learn about its place in New York architecture history, and see some fascinating views in the process.

Broadway

If you’re someone who enjoys musicals, we’d highly recommend checking out a Broadway show. Roam through Times Square and see which one tickles your fancy, from Phantom of the Opera, to Cats, to countless others!

Merrion Row Hotel and Public House

This Times Square new boutique hotel is full of Irish hospitality, and it’s complete with a 24-hour front desk and an on-site restaurant and bar. The hotel is in the Broadway district, and it’s super close to Times Square.

The Pearl Hotel

This welcoming hotel located in Times Square is about as luxurious as hotels get. The hotel offers a fitness center, ticket services, and complimentary bubbles for special occasions.

The Chatwal, A Luxury Collection Hotel, New York City

At just a 5-minute walk from Broadway theaters, this art deco boutique hotel is 5-stars, and they offer a 42-inch flat-screen TV and personal butler service.

Rui Plaza New York Times Square

Located just 100 meters from Restaurant Row and 2 minutes from Times Square, this hotel has one of the best views of New York at a price that can’t be beaten. It’s super affordable compared to the other hotel on this list, but you won’t be sacrificing any of the amenities or the location.

TKTS is an organization that provides day-of and next-day matinee performance tickets for both on and off Broadway shows. You must show up at one of their four locations in Manhattan earlier than their opening time as tickets are first-come, first-serve. Not all Broadway shows are available, but here’s a list of my favorites that are usually offered — straight from a true New Yorker.

Phantom of the Opera
