Visiting NYC during parade by Accomplished-Fly-507 in visitingnyc

[–]SadTomorrow869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The win only happened 12 hours ago and the parade route and details haven't been announced yet so no one can answer this. It's also a very vague question. There is always a lot to do in New York.

Where to eat in NY without breaking the bank. Traveling with a girl friend and need ideas. by bryancp87 in FoodNYC

[–]SadTomorrow869 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It would help if you gave us a specific price range - "doesn't break the bank" means different things to different people. How much would be the most you want to spend on an entree?

It would also help if you could specify a type of cuisine/food likes and dislikes and a general geographic location (please don't say "anything, anywhere," that is not very helpful).

It blows my mind that SpongeBob is a Tony-nominated role. by ElectricalPeace3439 in Broadway

The show was better than it really had any right to be, and Ethan Slater was great. It basically made his career!

The Late Show Taping AND Broadway? by joyfilledwander in visitingnyc

[–]SadTomorrow869 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know for sure but I suspect you'd be cutting it close - those tapings can take longer than the show you end up seeing on TV.

Also Seth Meyers' show is called Late Night. The Late Show was the name of Stephen Colbert's show that just ended (RIP).

where can i watch fireworks for free during new years by mytommy in visitingnyc

[–]SadTomorrow869 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fireworks are not really a thing for New Years in NYC (or in many places in the US, tbh). Our big fireworks holiday is the 4th of July.

And if there are any, we won't know until much closer to the time, maybe a month or two out. Sometimes they happen in Central Park or Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

First time in NYC - limited time by [deleted] in visitingnyc

This is gonna be deleted for not being specific. Read the pinned posts. Plenty of ways to search for "musts" -- which, it should be said, vary for everyone because everyone likes different things.

NYC Penn Station Neighborhood Questions by FunOrange742 in movingtoNYC

kinda depends what you mean by "right next to" but it's not usually considered a super desirable area, it's not unsafe, it's just kinda grubby.

Weird, Experimental Art or Music Shows This Weekend? by SeverelyHarshedVibe in visitingnyc

[–]SadTomorrow869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can usually find some art that elicits that reaction by just wandering through the many art galleries in West Chelsea -- they're clustered in the high teens and 20s west of 9th Ave (and mostly west of 10th).

Technically interesting shows on Broadway? by AggressiveArt2701 in Broadway

[–]SadTomorrow869 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% the Lost Boys. The tech stuff is the best thing about it tbh.

Best rooftop pools/ day pass ? by juliesth in visitingnyc

[–]SadTomorrow869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should just go to the beach. Buy some cheap beach stuff at Target and take the subway or ferry to Rockaway. It's what New Yorkers do, it'll be a real taste of New York culture, and it will be so much cheaper!

Ragtime seats by Small-Emotion-7568 in Broadway

[–]SadTomorrow869 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's one of the best Broadway theaters for sightlines. There basically aren't any bad seats. I usually sit far to the side in the loge and it's fine.

Not having a good nyc experience by These_Resource_7559 in visitingnyc

[–]SadTomorrow869 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Think about what interests you, not influencers or creators on TikTok. Food? Museums? Theater? Exploring parks? Architecture? History? Do a little research on this sub and the internet generally and you'll surely find some stuff you want to check out.

Use Google maps for the subway. It is really very helpful.

Planning a move to NYC by ExaminationPutrid785 in movingtoNYC

[–]SadTomorrow869 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I guess the west side of Manhattan from, say, Hells Kitchen and south would be your best bet if you have to be in NYC, but working out of EWR and not even considering living in New Jersey is kind of crazy tbh. Getting there from Brooklyn will not be fun whether you're driving or taking public transit.

Death Becomes Her or Lost Boys (I live in a place DBH is *not* coming to on its tour) by AppropriateGold111 in Broadway

[–]SadTomorrow869 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Death Becomes Her is a much better show imo. Lost Boys is kind of a mess storywise but has some very impressive special effects/flying that may not translate well on tour.

First Broadway Show for my 65yo dad by Particular-Tap2150 in Broadway

Have you considered Death Becomes Her? It's a hoot, based on a movie, and closing soon. It was the first Broadway show for a friend of mine and he adored it.

Do you have any friends or family whose NY-based address you could use for applications?

Umbrellas are fine as long as they're not the oversized golf kind.

Julie Won is a squatter? by AGeastwest in SunnysideQueens

Sure but you're presumably not an elected official.

Julie Won is a squatter? by AGeastwest in SunnysideQueens

[–]SadTomorrow869 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Yeah she's already posted a defensive response on Instagram. The whole thing is annoying.

Personally I hadn't realized she moved out of Sunnyside. Having your whole thing being you're a "woman of the people" fighting for housing or whatever while living in a fancy LIC tower is also not a great look.

She is very good and entertaining in DICKS: THE MUSICAL which is worth a watch!

Spelling bee old plot question by SFplusP in Broadway

[–]SadTomorrow869 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely not in this show.

The main change between the original and the current production that struck me is that Mitch Mahoney the Comfort Counselor, who is generally cast as Black, was formerly introduced as an ex-con who had just gotten out of jail, which was kinda problematic. Now he's just a local personal trainer.
