Where's a good place to kill time before seeing a show?
How about if you've brought your kids along?

If you have younger kids they would most likely enjoy the upstairs of the Disney store. There's singalongs and coloring if I remember correctly.

By kill time, do you mean shopping or sitting around on wifi?
Posted: 5/6/16 at 2:35pm
Anything, including (but not limited to) exploring.

Schmackary's is a fun bakery that many of the actors on broadway go to themselves, I've never been so I'm not sure where it's located exactly but if the actors hang out there it can't be far.

I would recommend not using Schmackary's to kill time seeing as it holds approximately 2 people and there are always 500 people in line.

Well, waiting in line would certainly kill time!
Is it a friendly line? Do people talk to one another?

Schmackrey is a great idea, the lines moves fast and everyone is usually friendly and happy!

I was also just going to mention not going to Schmackery's to hang out. To buy cookies, yes, but it's only a small shop and if you want to hang out, you're standing around on the sidewalk.

Friday trivia time! Two out of four people in this thread have spelled Schmackary's correctly!

With kids?

Why would you want to talk to people in line?

" Sure, why not? The kids dont have to drink, it is restaurant too with tables. I think kids would enjoy all the cool decorations!

I was laughing so hard at this because usually this would be my first thought. However a couple weeks ago I was in line at TKTS waiting for Color Purple tickets and the woman in front of me started talking to me, and I'm so glad she did. We had a great conversation that lasted about 30 minutes and the line just flew by!

If the weather finally gets nice, it's really not far from Central Park. So if you wanted to go to the bakery, you could always walk up to the park and have a picnic. I do that in the summer pretty often. I usually stay at air bnbs downtown, so if I have a 2-show day I'll grab some food and go sit in the park and people watch between shows. :)
of course it hasn't been nice enough to do that lately...

Sometimes you can find better entertainment in Central Park than on Broadway....

I like the 8th floor of the Marriott Marquis. You can sit, have something to eat, get wifi, souvenir shop, bathrooms, tv at the bar area. You can also go,down a few floors and see many Broadway window cards displayed on the wall. Also, ride the elevator up to the top floor for a nice view of Times Square. Have spent many pre theatre hours here and it's still one of my favorites and quiet places in the city to hang out.

You can kill some time in M & M World if you like chocolate - lol
