You can check the TKTS live availability on the website - if you check it on Tuesday & you can buy next day matinee tickets that day there. The Lincoln Center location is the way to go if you have time to walk up there. This includes the Rockettes as well.

This is peak season so locking in your tickets might provide more peace of mind, but it’s a good point of comparison  https://www.tdf.org/discount-ticket-programs/tkts-by-tdf/

Definitely last row, intimate theater and the only place I wouldn’t want to be is first few rows, might be a bit close/looking up  - unless you don’t mind that and really want them to sing in yuo

Other ideas:

Try to book an aisle seat so you can at least always lean to that side unobstructed.

Look at seating charts for any staggered seats or rows with an aisle in front.

Go to the theater with a taller companion when you can so they can more comfortably take the seat with the taller person in front! Growing up if a taller person came in the row, we made my dad take the seat behind them, and inevitably people behind us would start to do the same. 

Also there’s a bunch of good smoothie options - I like the Green Machine from an independent shop just west of the theater district called Fresh from Hell on 47th st between 8th and 9th avenues. http://www.freshfromhell.com/#home
 

There’s also Juice Generation & Juice Press that are reliable chains. 
 

Wishing you good health & enjoy your trip!

There are some good options in/near Bryant Park - there’s a Sweetgreen or Chopt salad bars, a Le Pain Quotidien and a Whole Foods that has a salad bar and seating on the 2nd floor. Bryant Park Grill or Juniors should also be able to make a salad to your specifications. 

Parade has an excellent cast & beautiful score but it is heavy topically. It is memorable and important so that would be my pick!

Interested! Will PM you

Ditto checking out the Drama bookshop.

You might also like the Performing Arts Library https://www.nypl.org/locations/lpa adjacent to Lincoln Center, the plaza there is also all decked out for the summer. Pick up lunch nearby somewhere casual (I suggest Breads bakery) and eat lunch at one of the tables in Lincoln Center plaza, or in Central Park nearby.

The main branch of the library at 42nd st also has great (free) tours.

You could also check out the Civilian hotel which seems to be featuring Broadway memorabilia, though I have not been, per the local ethos to stay out of the neighborhood when not explicitly necessary! https://www.civilianhotel.com/about-us/4cs/culture

 

Go to Shakespeare in the Park. Get drinks on the rooftop of the Met museum. Look up what’s going on at Lincoln Center’s outdoor Summer for the City events to see if anything is of interest. Enjoy your visit! https://www.lincolncenter.org/series/summer-for-the-city


 

 

Our go-to favorite in the area is Trattoria dell’arte. If you want to eat outside, try La grande boucherie. 

By CSC we like Ippudo for indoor eating if you can get there early or they also do well packaged take out! 

All good picks -

Feel like the Drama Desk distinguished performance award winners are a good place to start if you wanted to direct a student to a starting point…

+ Andre De Shields, Cynthia Erivo, + ones you won’t likely see like Streisand or Julie Andrews…

Anyone have a code or tips for Plaza Suite, beyond TodayTix? The prices seem crazy high…thanks!!
