This site is about New York City. I am a traveler and New York City has to be the most lively places on earth. There are lots of world class entertainment ,venues and different ethic dishes that you can find to sample in NYC. You can be be a part of the city due to NYC efficient public transportation and all you need is a cheap Metro Card to bring you to the action. Being a resident of NYC for more than 20 years there is no place like New York. In the past there is a saying "all roads lead to Rome", the modern saying is "all roads leads to New York City"

New York City Vacation: Seeing a Broadway show is a common tourist activity in New York



Broadway, refers to theatrical performances presented in one of the 39 large professional theaters with 500 seats or more located in the Theatre District, New York (plus one theatre in Lincoln Center) in Manhattan, New York City

The Broadway theatre district is a popular tourist attraction in New York City. According to The Broadway League, Broadway shows sold approximately $937 million worth of tickets in the 2007-08 season. Total Broadway attendance in the 2007-2008 season was 12.27 million, which was approximately the same as the previous season.

Seeing a Broadway show is a common tourist activity in New York, and Broadway shows sell about a billion dollars worth of tickets annually. It also helps the tourist industry to generate billions more in restaurant and hotel revenues. The TKTS booths sell same-day tickets (and in certain cases next-day matinee tickets) for many Broadway and Off-Broadway shows at a discount of either 25%, 35% or 50%. (The TKTS booths are located in Duffy Square, in Lower Manhattan (199 Water Street—Corner of Front & John Streets), and in Brooklyn.) This service helps sell seats that would otherwise go empty and makes seeing a show in New York more affordable. Many Broadway theatres also offer special student rates, same-day "rush" or "lottery" tickets, or standing-room tickets to help ensure that their theatres are as full, and their "grosses" as high as possible.
