There are so many choices available, it can be almost impossible to construct a perfect dinner-and-a-show night. Whether you live in Manhattan or are in town for the first time, it's too easy to make a wrong turn, pick an unsatisfying restaurant or wind up chasing from one venue to the next. A single wrong turn can send you into a scramble, putting what should be the evening of your life at ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

There are so many choices available, it can be almost impossible to construct a perfect dinner-and-a-show night.

Oct 20th, 2009 at 12:30PM: Manhattan has a lot of great parks – but a handful tends to hog all the attention. Central Park is what it is; there's just now way to compare it to anything else. Bryant Park has live performances and exhibitions (not to mention a starring role in Fashion Week) and is only a block from Times Square. And, there are others that would come to mind before you work your way down the list to one ...NYC duo gets tapped for Orlando smile assignment
Aug 6th, 2009 at 12:00PM: Orlando has spoken! A pair of New Yorkers rose above hundreds of applicants to become Orlando's Smile Ambassadors. For 67 days, they will experience more than 100 attractions offered ... which includes a hell of a lot more than just a dance with the Mouse. Alligators will be involved, for example. Along the way, they'll blog and their experiences, giving the rest of the world an "in the trenches" ...Photo of the Day (5.29.09)
May 29th, 2009 at 7:00PM:
Flickr user ultraclay! submitted this ultra-chaotic shot from New York City's Theater District, where thousands of tourists flock (sometimes all at once) to see the best that Broadway has to offer. The feeling of total sensory-overload in this photo captures exactly what every first-time visitor to New York experiences.

May 27th, 2009 at 4:30PM: New York City's famous Times Square became free of cars this Monday. This is the latest in two decades of radical changes to what used to be a dirty, dangerous, but uniquely vibrant part of one of the world's greatest cities. City officials have blocked traffic from 42nd to 47th Streets at Times Square and between 33rd and 35th Streets at Herald Square in a much-anticipated move we first reported ...Mezz vs. orchestra: It's the people around you
Mar 25th, 2009 at 9:00AM: I settled into my seat at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in Manhattan on Saturday well in advance of the curtain's rise. My wife and I were eager to see "God of Carnage," which had received great reviews and featured a high-profile cast. For a change, we had seats in the mezzanine section – rather than our usual preference for orchestra. It wasn't a big deal, and we were prepared to accept ...Times Square turning pedestrian
Feb 27th, 2009 at 12:00PM: If Times Square experiences traffic jams now, just wait 'til late May when the streets around the Square will be bumper-to-bumper and the sidewalks along Broadway will be filled with -- not cars -- but feet, and (not to mention) a lot of construction. I know, it may be the hardest thing to imagine, but starting this Memorial Day through the end of the year, the streets surrounding New York City's ...Galley Gossip: Boeing Boeing grounded
Jan 6th, 2009 at 1:30PM: January 4, 2009 was a very sad day on Broadway in New York City. While it is said that all good things must come to an end, does that really have to include the critically acclaimed Broadway show, Boeing Boeing? I mean this was one trip I didn't want to end. Ever! But when the doors finally closed and the lights went to black, I was there (along with a full house) to say Buh-bye to an era of ...Cockpit Chronicles: Caracas and New York
Apr 24th, 2008 at 11:00AM: Being the only pilot on reserve, I figured I'd be getting a call to fly over the weekend. Sure enough, Camille called on Thursday to tell me I'd be departing at 6:30 the next morning. It was a new sequence that I hadn't flown yet. They took away our Panama City and Caracas trip and replaced it with a Caracas and New York layovers. While I wasn't really itching to fly to Caracas again, the idea of ...You Too Can Be On Broadway!
Mar 2nd, 2007 at 11:32AM: Earlier this week I wrote about Broadway's surprising focus on plays for the upcoming season -- but there's one musical that is a must-see for every tourist with stars in their eyes.
For $31.50 you can buy a ticket at the new rock musical, Spring Awakening, that puts you in the middle of the action -- on stage with the performers.
According to Jo Piazza of the New York Daily News, who recently ...Theatre Lovers In For An Interesting Spring On Broadway
Feb 27th, 2007 at 3:06PM: Spring is traditionally a busy time on Broadway, but this year, the United States' most revered commercial theatre institution is offering something a little different. Instead of focusing solely on new musicals -- long the mainstay of big-budget New York theatre -- it seems that this season it's plays generating all the excitement.
Starting in May, the more discerning live performance ...
