Broadway Theatre 

When visiting New York City, there are a few must dos that everyone has on their checklist. Most notable attractions include scaling the soaring Empire State Building for incredible views of the city, taking in the glitz and glamour of the hustle and bustle of Times Square and of course attending an extravagant Broadway show while in the city.  While you can have the pleasure of attending many of the more popular  Broadway shows across America, there’s nothing quite like experiencing Broadway in the heart of NYC, the birthplace of America’s musical theater. If you’re new to Broadway, the experience can be both exciting and intimidating, especially when it comes to choosing which show to attend. Below we have compiled a short list of some of the most popular Broadway shows. Check show websites to see when performances are scheduled.

Hamilton 

Hamilton is the story of the Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, and how he made his mark on America following the Revolutionary War. Composer-lyricist-broadway star Lin-Manuel Miranda gives the audience a refreshing take on Hamilton’s life with a smooth blend of hip-hop and musical storytelling mixes with an exciting, immigrant slant. The diverse cast takes well known American history and in turn remixes it into something new but familiar. 

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child 

The world of Harry Potter has come to Broadway with a marvelous dose of theatrical magic woven into each moment.

This Broadway show will leave you awestruck, spellbound and deeply satisfied by the time you walk out of the theatre as you once again plunge yourself into the World of Harry Potter.

The Lion King

Governors Island and summer in New York are a match made in heaven. The 172-acre island, located across the water from Brooklyn, is a former military base used during both the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. Today Governor’s Island is used as a seasonal recreation area where visitors from NYC can come and enjoy the outdoors. Several of the more popular events include Governor’s Island Camping, picnicking with friends and family, touring the island via the amazing bike paths, and taking a quick power nap in the summer sun while laying in your hammock while visiting Governors Island. Traveling here can only be done by taking the Governor’s Island Ferry, so be sure to plan ahead if you can manage to fit it into your schedule.

The Grand Central Terminal is a New York landmark that is part of the city’s soul. This historic station was opened to the public on February 2, 1913, and has garnered a rich history throughout the years as residents and visitors to NYC alike travel across the city from its hub in Midtown Manhattan. In addition to being the home of the MTA Metro-North Railroad and a subway station serving multiple lines, Grand Central Station in New York is now a retail and dining destination for New Yorkers that love food and shopping. With 750,000 visitors per day, Grand Central Station in NYC is among the top destinations in New York City, only second to the iconic Times Square.

The High Line NYC is one of New York’s most popular and innovative parks that you can visit in the city. New York City’s elevated park was once a rail track that ran through Manhattan’s Westside as it carried both passenger and freight trains above the busy borough that lay below. The railway slowly began to be used less and less as commercial trucking provided an alternative to transporting commercial freight by train. By the 1980s, the High Line New York had turned into an unused piece of the railway that slowly became an eyesore for the city. 

The structure was scheduled to be demolished after decades of disuse in 1999 but the demolition was stopped by the newly established Friends of The High Line. The organization sought to revitalize the old railroad by transforming it into something that the public could use. The idea for an outdoor park came from a worldwide contest that asked participants to submit ideas for the 1.5 mile-long stretch of track. The transformation began in 2006 and was opened to the public in 2009 with additional sections added as time has gone on. It goes without saying that when the sun is shining, there’s nothing quite like strolling along the floating promenade that is High Line Park.
