New York, November: More Than Just Turkey and Thanks
So, you're planning a November trip to the Big Apple? Good choice, friend! While everyone else is busy stuffing their faces and counting their blessings, you'll be stuffing your schedule with amazing shows. Let’s dive into what New York has to offer in November, beyond the obligatory Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (which, let's be honest, is still pretty awesome).
Broadway: Where Dreams Are Alive (and Tickets Are Expensive)
New York is synonymous with Broadway, and November is a fantastic time to catch a show. Whether you're into classic musicals, thought-provoking plays, or something completely out there, there's a show for everyone. Just be prepared to shell out some serious cash for those tickets. But hey, you only live once, right? And if you're lucky, you might even spot a celebrity. Or, at the very least, someone wearing a ridiculous hat.
Tip: If you're on a budget, consider checking out off-Broadway or off-off-Broadway shows. You might discover hidden gems and save some dough.
