NY T-29 days and counting...

Getting excited for our visit in less than a month for our NY fix. (and to be frank, few friends in the real world want to hear about it)

Tues 9/1 - An American in Paris (this is also the slot for the most-skippable)
Wed (mat) - The King & I
       (eve) - Fun Home
Thu (early) - Seth Rudetsky's Chatterbox
       (eve) - The Curious Incident....
Fri (eve) - Hamilton
Sat (mat) - Something Rotten
      (eve) - Hand to God

A couple of questions on our other plans, notably "The Chew" taping on Thurs and The Whitney & High Line on Friday.

Has anyone here attended a taping of "The Chew" - and do you have any suggestions? (ranging from "arrive xx early" or a great place to eat near the studios.(We'll be at the second taping on Thurs)

For the Whitney & High Line - how far does the park extend these days? Can you walk out to that park at the same level from the museum? (and again - any breakfast or lunch recommendations at either end)

I. can't. wait.

Whitney High Line, we are members, I recommend eating at Untitled, great food MAKE RESERVATIONS!!!!

No the park and museum are 2 separate things. different levels, elevators are right there. GET THERE EARLY!!! LINES are LONG!!! I don't know wait times because members skip the line. 

The High Line now runs up to 34th street.

Thanks for the info!

I'll check out reservations for Untitled. Luckily, anticipating crowds, I became a "social" member of the museum.

As for The Chew - we immediately went to a waitlist and have not received tickets yet. Was that the way it worked for you. (I jumped on tix when they were made available on their website)

Mark, If you are on the waitlist then you don't have tickets.  I was not on the waitlist for The Chew but for some other tapings, that eventually became open. If others who have tickets give them up or more space is available then your status will change to tickets. It is all based on how many people are ahead of you on the waitlist.   You need to check 1iota (they send out the tickets via email) daily and go to your account to see if you are off the waitlist.  You need to respond to it immediately once it opens up.  I had a Priority ticket for the Chew but was still like number 100 to enter the studio.  If all else fails and you really want to see this, try for standby at the studio.

"Will you have time for a Thursday matinee?"

 Depends on my tix for the Chew. I normally don't look for Thurs Matinees (no desire for Phantom or Mamma Mia, or most of the long-running hits) - am I missing something?

The most important question -

was C 301 and 302 for The King and I too close?? (I have those exact same seats in a few months).

Thanks for your help - hope you had a great trip!

What a great line up!
