10 Things to do in Times Square / Theater District That You Shouldn't Miss
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Bryant Park has a French-style merry-go-round, open year-round, plus a well-maintained lawn, with chairs and tables. The outdoor Reading Room has picture books and summertime story times. In winter. Take a spin on the free ice-skating rink. The park also has clean bathrooms, a rarity in midtown.

This is a beautiful theatre, and the production was outstanding. Many stairs to maneuver if you need the restrooms, but that is the norm in NYC. Good staff and helpful ushers.

We saw The Illusionists Magic of the Holidays show and head a great time. The show was filled great magic acts and very funny jokes. It is great for kids and adults. Every illusionist has his own style and completely different acts, which kept this two hour show going by very quickly. The theater has a very good seating configuration, which gives you a great view, no matter where you sit.

The Historic New Amsterdam Theatre opened in 1903 and is currently home to the hit Broadway Musical ALADDIN..

When buying tickets for the production of "Aladdin" musical we did not pay attention to the theatre it was playing in: it was just the fourth (and the last) Broadway show on the "must" list. Well, we were very-very wrong! In addition to the great show we got a chance to admire the beautiful theatre interior, boasting great design and intricate details. The New Amsterdam Theater even has it's own exhibition! Unfortunately we did not have time enough to study all the showcases and items on display but we learned a bit about the theater's history, i.e. we learned that in the past it was home for the famous "Ziegfield Follies" troupe. Hope next time in NYC we' ll allocate more time for the tour of the New Amsterdam Theatre!

The Minskoff Theatre is beautiful, clean & our seats were great. They did a marvelous job of designing the stage for "The Lion King" production. We fall in the category of folks who thought the show was fantastic! From the Actors, to the costumes, to the music, to the incredible staging design, everything about this show was well worth it!

An old, iconic theatre located in the heart of the Theatre District, part of the Shubert Organisation. Very small foyer. The stalls area of the seating is wide. There is a balcony and a number of boxes at the side of the auditorium. We saw a matinee of "Beetlejuice" which was superb. If you are a tourist in NY. then a ticket for this show is money well spent.

Most of the other theaters make patrons wait outside. This theater is located inside the hotel. While lines were long, it was nice not being outside. The theatre is efficiently run. The seats were comfortable and staggered so viewing was not blocked. We saw Tootsie, which was hilarious! The staging was incredible, set changes were seamless, which enhanced the pace of the play.
