Guests of our boutique hotel The MAve will be well suited to take advantage of this Broadway special as the NYC Theater District is only a few minutes away in Midtown Manhattan.

Popular shows on sale at the moment include Annie, Chicago, Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia!, and Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. Jersey Boys and Mamma Mia! are perennial favorites with out-of-town visitors looking for traditional Broadway fare, while Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark is a little different from usual, as it’s a musical based on a comic book, and will likely appeal to contemporary theatergoers or families with teenagers.

Of course New York’s vibrant theater scene isn’t limited to only Broadway, as there is also an extensive array of Off-Broadway offerings elsewhere in the city. It’s fortuitous then that the city’s Off-Broadway Week begins on January 28th and runs until February 10th!

The Off-Broadway offerings are almost too many to go into much detail here, but suffice it to say that the shows often take more creative risks than their on-Broadway counterparts, as they don’t have as much pressure to be commercial successes. Often more affordable than Broadway shows, the Off-Broadway performances can vary a great deal in genre and visitors should be able to find a show that suits their tastes.

One popular Off-Broadway show is Perfect Crime, which is a suspenseful thriller—think CSI—that has been running continuously since 1987.

It goes without saying that museums are an excellent place to spend a snow-heavy day. Uptown, on the Upper East Side, there are several world-class art museums awaiting to be explored. The Guggenheim and Whitney Museum of American Art are two good choices, but to spend an entire day in one museum visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This museum is so large that it usually takes several days and visits to see its entire collection and all of its exhibitions. There’s even a cafeteria inside the museum, so visitors don’t have to leave for lunch.

On the other side of the park, on the Upper West Side, the American Museum of Natural History is another interesting choice for snow-dodging visitors. Families will be especially interested, as this museum wows visitors with its huge collection of dinosaur skeletons, IMAX movies and planetarium.

The Museum of Modern Art or MOMA in Midtown is another option, as this museum is home to a huge collection of contemporary art and can easily keep the attention of visitors for several hours at least.

At night head over to the Theater District to watch a Broadway Play. There are dozens on at any one time and there are performances almost every night of the week. Some long-running favorites include The Lion King, Jersey Boys and Mamma Mia.

For the less culturally inclined, catching a sports game is another way to spend a snowy evening. The New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and New York Rangers are three teams that play inside warm arenas in the city.

After your long day avoiding the cold and snow it’s time to return to our warm boutique hotel, The MAve, for a restful night’s sleep.
