Consulate General of Spain IN THE BIG APPLE
by listenandlearn
If makes us feel very at home once we got inside the consulate. There were books, latest "El Periodica" and all the Spanish as well as Catalan newspaper for everyone; it even has few latest issues of "HOLA MAGAZINES."
There we meet the SPANISH General CONSULATE while waiting to be served.
The consulate is convieniently located in the east side and their exact address is: 150 East 58th Street, which is between Lexington and 3rd Avenue. If other than just dropping by at the consulate, I would suggest you give them a ring-a-ling: (212) 355-4080 - as they close to the public at 2 in the afternoon.
People at the consulate are very helpful, so, even just drop by and since it's located on the 30th floor you can even take quite nice photos of the busy midtown streets of Manhattan. The staff working at the consolate are very helpful and quite approachable.
Broadway Show Etiquette
by Nativenewyorker
As a stage actor, I have performed off-Bdwy, and have friends currently appearing in Bdwy shows. For visitors who are attending their first Broadway show, here are some tips that you might find useful:
While there is no official dress-code for Bdwy, suits for ladies & gents are always appropriate. Men can also wear a sports jacket & slacks, w/ or w/o tie, or a nice sweater & slacks. Ladies can wear a nice top & slacks, a dress, or blouse/sweater & skirt. This may be the only Bdwy show you will see - why not make it special?
PLEASE REMEMBER-you are seeing a LIVE show; the actors are real people and they can hear you if you talk. I can't tell you how disconcerting is is to hear someone making dinner plans while I'm trying to tell Hamlet to "look like a friend on Denmark!"
Ditto cell phones, beepers, etc. If you think you've turned them off, double check. Then check again.
A little courtesy goes a long way to making your first Bdwy show a magical event!

Don't use the TKTS booth in time square
by xtephen
I was in NYC last week, and every time I went past the TKTS booth, there was a 3 or 4 hour wait.
Someone told me about a TKTS booth in South Street Seaport (Pier 17). Its on the corner of Front & John Streets. I went to it and there was NO LINE. Its definetly worth the subway trip down to South Street to avoid the 3 hour wait at the times square TKTS booth.
