nyc trip

Posted: Sep 11, 2011

I am planning a day trip to NYC on Saturday, Nov 5th. I have been to NYC many times, mainly with my girlfriends to shop and eat. This year, I would like to take my family, which includes my husband and 3 sons - ages 9 through 14.

I'm looking for suggestions as to what to do and see, as I know they would not enjoy shopping the entire day. I had hoped to see the Rockettes, but their show doesn't start until the following Saturday and there's no way to reschedule our trip.

I'm thinking about taking them to see a Broadway show. The Wicked is playing and I think they would enjoy that, as they have watched the Wizard of Oz many times. My only issue is the price for 5 of us would be pretty hefty. I had hoped to get standby tickets for the Rockettes since it was so early in the season, but I don't know if they offer the same for the Broadway shows or not.

Does anyone know of discounted tickets for Broadway shows? I'm checking Ebay, but they're still about $100 a seat. Is that a good price? Anyone have any other suggestions about things to do on a day trip in NYC with 3 boys? I've thought about the stadium and the Statute of Liberty. Just looking for some other suggestions or tips. We are going by bus and being dropped off somewhere downtown around 10 or 11. I'm familiar with using the subway if needed. I just have to be careful to be back in time for the bus, usually by 6:00 p.m.

Thanks for any suggestions or tips!

I've always had good luck with travelzoo.com. Type New York City into the search engine and it should bring up all the deals and when they're valid. I tried it and didn't see any tix for Wicked, but did see some for Spiderman I think at 53 a ticket. You could also sign up for groupon for NYC until you're ready to go and if any great deals come through you can purchase through there. Have fun!

thanks i will check it out - momof3

Another friend of mine suggested the Yankee Stadium and Monument Park since my boys are baseball fans. I'm trying to find what their hours are during offseason and admission prices just to get inside the stadium (not a game day).

I will def check out travelzoo. Thanks again!

Go to Time Square and there will be bleachers there in the center and a TKS (I think its TKS or TKTS or something)stand there with discount tickets to a whole bunch of shows. Check what you need to go to Ellis Island, as the last time I wanted to go, I did not have the proper documentation. Where are staying?

I will be turning 60 in July 2013 and I am taking myself on a trip somewhere for about 10 days. Anyone have any suggestions? I do not want to go back to Hawaii or anywhere in Europe. I have a doggie day care at my home so I will have up to $8000 earmarked for a good time. I do not care for hiking or museums or mountains. I do like the water and have been on a cruise in the past. Thought about AmTrack trip somewhere. Suggestions? Anything you have ...

Mind you, they are 22 and 25. They are driving from upstate NY to Long Island to stay with friends and see a concert. Now, each of them has been gone on their own, my son's been to the other end of the country on both a plane and train. I think my problem with this trip is that they're together in his car. I have these visions of a crash and losing both of them at the same time. I know - silly, right? Yes, I know it. But a mom worries. ...

Does this seem a little off to you? On Monday the class made tye-dye shirts, which are supposed to be worn on Friday for a field trip. Okay. Fine. Now we, the parents, are being told that the shirts will not be sent home prior to the trip and the children will be required to change shirts in school prior to leaving for the trip. Why? Why on earth won't they send the shirts home Thursday? I have a little girl and I am very uncomfortable with the fact ...

It was their 5th wedding anniversary and they went to Cuba, which is against the law; but, of course, they got away with breaking the law. According to the Treasury Dept. spokesperson, they were on a "cultural exchange." Getting away with breaking the law by friends or family of our esteemed President again and again seems to be a habit. How much more is this administration going to thumb their noses at, and/or break the laws of, our country? ...

leave my house key with her just in case. I have animals here at home and my husband is home like every other day as far as the watering and feeding things. She and I basically share "her" cat. She lets him be an inside/outside wanderer and he comes to my house and gets treats. I have talked with her occasionally over the years, never visited in her home, she has been in mine once. She is a part-time RN in NICU here at one of our close by hospitals so pretty responsible. I would love to be a ...

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20021841-503544.html Earlier this week, the Press Trust of India reported that the United States will "be spending a whopping $200 million per day on President Barack Obama's visit" to Mumbai. The story lacked a named source, and the $200 million claim was credited to "a top official of the Maharashtra Government privy to the arrangements for the high-profile visit." The claim quickly gained traction on the right, thanks in part to a lin ...

Allegheny River, talking to Hromadik and others like him. I have cowered under the covers long enough. Denial does no one any good. Donald Trump is going to put his left hand on the Bible in a couple weeks and repeat the oath of office administered by Chief Justice John Roberts. I do not live in Donald Trump’s America, but I aim to learn from those who do. I’ve rented a sturdy car. I’ve enlisted a wingman with serious driving chops. And I’ve pointed myself west to the land Trump found ...

When Sarah Palin took us on a hunting/camping trip with her dad Chuck Heath on the latest episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska, she said hunting was necessary to "fill her freezer!" Hunting for caribou means “food on the table and in the freezer for a lot of Alaskans,” the former Govenor extolled. She opened her freezer to let us see how the Palin meat pantry was getting bare. “For many people in remote areas of Alaska, there’s no grocery store nearby, we just g ...
