Discount B’Way Tix and Free Things to Do! December NYC 2016
New York’s newest place for cheap Broadway tickets isn’t a place at all. In fact, you’re probably holding it right now—or at least it’s within easy reach! That’s right, it’s your cell phone. The app TodayTix has picked up where TDF left off. No one wants to stand in long lines in the middle of Times Square, especially when temperatures go south and the snow starts to fall. Instead, the younger generation downloads the TodayTix app for free! It lists cheap tickets available that day (hence the term “TODAY” Tix), and on certain shows, for performances in the near future. TodayTix also offers lottery options for a selection of other productions. (Note: only one or two lottery tickets to each show might be available, compared to the hundreds of people who may have entered. So if you are desperate to see a certain show, you might want to make plans other than the lottery.)
As of Thanksgiving week in New York City, the Rockette Christmas Spectacular had tickets on sale for $39, and Cirque du Soleil’s Paramour was on sale for $55, along with a $35 lottery option. TodayTix subscribers could enter the lottery to see Sutton Foster in Sweet Charity for $35. Chicago and Cats were listed at $50 and $59, respectively. Tickets could be purchased for all of these shows throughout the week. Many, many more shows were available: School of Rock, Matilda, Fiddler on the Roof, The Cherry Orchard, Kinky Boots, and more. Some off-Broadway companies are on there as well, such as the dance company Pilobolus, Othello: the Remix, Sleep No More, and the Keen Company’s Tick, Tick… Boom!
So next time you come to New York, do what the locals do! Download TodayTix for free, purchase a ticket, and then meet a TodayTix concierge at the theatre. He or she will be clearly identifiable. You provide ID, they hand you a ticket, and you go straight to your seat. It couldn’t be easier! Don’t pay through the nose for a Broadway show. And no more standing in line for hours to pay cash at the TDF booth!

Planning ahead when visiting NYC is key. We’re not just talking about a few weeks in advance, but sometimes months or even a year! There are so many amazing events and organizations to see while you are here that it’s best to do your research in advance. Why you ask? So you don’t miss out on amazing events such as the Women in the World Summit, that we attended earlier this week.
Organized by journalist Tina Brown and in its seventh year, this three-day summit introduced several dozen inspiration women who are leaders or doing the kind of important work we should all know about. Shop Gotham was present at this extraordinary event at Lincoln Center and found it to be a must do in NYC.
Speakers included: Ayaan Ali Hirsi, a leader in the voice against the hardship of Islamic Laws on women, Cecile Richards, CEO of Planned Parenthood, Mindy Kaling, the actor and comedian, Meryl Streep, Katie Couric, Thomas Friedman, Jo Ann Jenkins, CEO of AARP, Christine Lagarde, Managing Director, the International Monetary Fund and many others.
If you are planning to come to NYC in 2017, we encourage you to really plan ahead to attend this summit and be prepared to be enlightened and inspired.

3 More Reasons NYC Rocks
1) Almost All Shops are open on Sunday (exception: upper Madison avenue). We recommend taking our Soho & Nolita shopping tour at noon on Sunday. Wake up late. Take your tour. Follow it by a late leisurely lunch at a charming cafe in Soho or Nolita. Shop some more. Drag your bags home. Take a nap. A perfect sunday.
2)Cover bands at BBKings. Almost any musician you have ever loved is represented at BBkings by a “look-alike band”, who are often as good as the real deal. Typically $15. Civilized environment with food & bev.
3)Philharmonic in Central Park. True that about a zillion other people also show up to picnic under the stars. But there is always a patch of grass to snag and hey, its the NY Philarmonic for free! July 17 2009.
To keep a store like the fabulous and mammoth Bloomingdales 59th street flaship operating smoothly and staying current with the times – including new technology – it takes an army of skilled people.
On a business trade visit yesterday, our guests who were in town from overseas for the NRF show, enjoyed learning some of their secrets. While we really can’t reveal them, here is one mind blowing tidbit: There are 1.4 million light bulbs! Another highlight, when shopping for lingerie, it’s nice to know there is a telephone in each dressing room, preventing the shopper from having to exit in their “unmentionables.”
The Visitor Center is a well known secret but certainly more people can take advantage of this wonderful resource. Located on the Mezzanine level, if offers complimentary coatcheck, docking stations for your cellphones, ipads for checking emails and even a nice sitting area to watch CNN for a few minutes, while plotting your shopping itinerary. And for those visitors from out of the country, make sure to take advantage of your 10% discount!
Bloomingdales, ” Like no other store in the world”, and we agree.
