In New york city for 1 day and 1 night, what to do?

Hello, I will be flying into NYC Thursday and will have the afternoon and night free, and will be leaving on Friday at 9:45pm. Wanted to make the most of this short little trip. I will be in March 13th and 14th.

I have been to nyc before, went to chinatown, brooklyn bridge, empire state, statue of liberty and museums. What should I do?

Was thinking maybe a broadway show? So many to chose from, or anything else fun. Also what should I do during the day, where to eat for lunch and dinner?

Thanks guys!

Thankfully you%26#39;ve gotten the ';attractions'; out of the way. I%26#39;d pick a couple of neighborhoods and just explore. And I%26#39;d absolutely go see a Broadway show.

I wouldn%26#39;t begin to recommend a show without knowing anything about you. I can tell you that the award-winning London production of Sondheim%26#39;s ';Sunday in the Park with George'; is opening tomorrow. You can read NY Times reviews online at www.nytimes.com -- it requires free registration. Then you can search their archives for reviews of everything on Broadway.

Before you buy tickets to anything, check with broadwaybox.com to see if there are any applicable discounts. And I find that it%26#39;s better to phone the ticket agent rather than buy online. You can also find seating plans on playbill.com.

Hi. I%26#39;ve seen Wicked several times and I say definitely see it and also go closer. I like to see faces and you will be able to definitely be able to see the faces from there!

If you like to shop, head down to Century 21. It%26#39;s fun and depending on what you are looking for, it takes a while to visit every floor while you shop!

We just got back from there a couple of weeks ago and we enjoyed walking around Central Park near FAO Schwartz and the Plaza area. It was just beautiful and fun to look at everything.

nywhiz, the biking tour looks fun.

singingdancingmomma, I actually have 2nd row center orchestra tickets, which i was told by someone in another forum that its too close and will suffer neck pain. is that true?

Heck no! I love being up close. Some people like to be a little further back but I love it up there! I%26#39;s rather ';crane'; my neck a little and get to see their faces! I think you will LOVE IT! I%26#39;ve been 2nd row (partial view so I did miss a little big but I could see their faces SO WELL!) and 4th row center. I much preferred sitting center!

Also, if you have time and it%26#39;s something you really want to do, I have had really good luck walking up to get Letterman tickets. Just go to the website and it will tell you what time to come get in line at the Ed Sullivan theatre. Both times I tried this, I was picked for the audience. You have to be enthusiastic. Also, try to enter the date you want on the website form for tickets too. I also did that very last minute one time and was so surprised that they called me! Be prepared to answer a question about the show but it you watch regularly, that should be no problem!

Have fun! I%26#39;m so excited for you!

I%26#39;d go shoppind in SOHO and have lunch at Balthazar!

I actually ate at Balthazar 2 years ago when I went to New York for New years eve, very good place.

I want to get Letterman Tickets so bad, do you remember at what time standing in line for tickets ends?

I would hate to spend alot of time just standing in line, if it ends early then it wouldnt be that bad.

Hi,

Here is the link for the online form. Try that first cause you never know what could happen.

THen, if they don%26#39;t call you ahead of time the website says come to the theatre between 9:30 and 12:30 on the day of the taping. I think we got there around 11:00 or 11:30 and most of the line was gone. It took less than 1 hour for us to do the process and then they said they would call us by 1or 2pm to tell us if we needed to come back later for the taping. Well, sure enough they did call us and we were chosen! It was very exciting. Then we had to go back a couple of hours later to find out where we would be sitting. THat is another line and process but definitely worth it. We were very perky and enthusiastic and ended up on the Front ROW! It definitely takes some time out of your day but I would say it%26#39;s definitely worth it. VERY FUN!
