There are so many reasons why New York is ranked as one of the most popular city break destinations. From the awesome shopping opportunities that can be found across all of Manhattan; to the iconic tourist attractions like The Statue of Liberty and The Empire State building and the fact that this city is the second best in the world for theatre entertainment.

We are going to concentrate on the last of these reasons for visiting the city and the fact that there are many New York hotels located close enough to Broadway to really make a perfect theatre break away.

After London's West End, New York is proud to boast a myriad theatre shows going on at any time. Broadway has most of the well known musicals to enjoy and Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice have a massive influence here. From Les Miserables to the unforgettable Phantom of the Opera: it really is all here for you.

Some hotels may even be able to arrange theatre tickets for you and if the property is rated at a four star or more, the chances are that there will be a concierge to rely upon to sort out all of the arrangements.

If you can organise your theatre trip for weekdays, you are likely to find better availability for seats and may even see a discounted rate in the price.
