Como Comprar Ingressos Baratos da Broadway em Nova York

Gosta de musical ou peça de teatro? Então, reservar um pouco de dinheiro pra ir a algum espetáculo da Broadway em Nova York é necessário. A qualidade das obras é impressionante e vai te garantir uma experiência única. Depois de passear o dia inteiro, nada melhor do que fechar a dia com um pouquinho de arte. Tem algumas maneiras de comprar ingressos por um preço bem mais barato. Eu já usei a maioria delas e deu super certo. Se liga nas dicas:

Loteria da Broadway

Funciona mesmo! Eu já perdi as contas de quantas vezes fui sorteada na loteria da broadway. Comece por aqui: entre nesse site maravilhoso www.broadwayforbrokepeople.com e procure o musical que você tem mais interesse. Lá você vai ver qual a melhor maneira pra tentar a loteria com informações úteis como horários, endereços dos teatros, datas de inauguração ou encerramento e muito mais.

A loteria geralmente funciona com entradas para todos os dias (exceto feriados ou segundas-feiras).

Cada musical tem uma maneira diferente de sortear ingressos: através dos próprios site, aplicativos ou parceiros, como Lucky Seat ou Broadway Direct.

Os ingressos costumam sair muito mais em conta do que o preço integral, por exemplo: Aladdin ou O Rei Leão saem por 30 dólares mais taxa de serviço.

**Ama musicais? Não se preocupe. Tem maneiras de assistir peças da Broadway por preços bons!**

Broadway Roulette

Esse é bem legal mas você precisa contar com um pouco de sorte. Primeiro, acesse www.broadwayroulette.com e retire da lista 4 espetáculos que você NÃO quer ver.

Depois, preencha com dados pessoas e dia que deseja ver a peça. Por fim, o site se encarrega de rodar a roleta e escolher um musical pra você assistir por valores bem mais acessíveis – na média de 49 ou 59 dólares mais uma taxa de serviço.

Aplicativos

Tem uma variedade de aplicativos pra te ajudar a comprar peças com desconto. Esses são os mais utilizados: Telecharge, TodayTix, Linctix ou Hiptix.

Já algumas peças desenvolveram os próprios aplicativos e fazem a loteria através deles. É o caso de Harry Potter and The Cursed Child e Hamilton.

**O musical Hamilton tem o próprio aplicativo para sortear ingressos mais baratos!**

Broadway Week

Duas vezes ao ano você pode comprar 2 ingressos pelo preço de 1. Ou seja, dá pra garantir ingressos por 50% de desconto. Mas atenção: esgota rapidinho, hein?! Por isso, confira as datas no site abaixo para planejar e comprar as entradas antecipadamente!

Para os apressadinhos: General Rush ou SRO (standing room ovation)

Não quer contar com a tecnologia mas tem pressa? Tudo bem. Essa opção é mais antiga mas funciona. Vá direto ao teatro que tem o seu musical escolhido horas antes da apresentação começar. Com sorte, ingressos que não foram vendidos estarão disponíveis com um precinho amigável. O problema é que, às vezes, esses ingressos podem ser em assentos com visibilidade parcial ou até ser em espaços que o convidado tem que assistir tudo de pé!

TKTS

Compre ingressos para o mesmo dia da apresentação nas cabines da TKTS. Elas estão localizadas em três endereços diferentes: na Times Square (a mais lotada), Lincoln Center ou South Street Seaport. Procure se informar dos horários de funcionamento e chegue cedo para conseguir as melhores cadeiras e preços.

TKTS Times Square: 7th Ave (212) 912-9770

TKTS Lincoln Center: 61 W 62nd St (212) 912-9770

TKTS South Street Seaport: 190 Front St (212) 912-9770

Cheap Places To Eat in NYC

Being a tourist in New York is no joke. I know because before I moved here, I had visited the city many times. This place is expensive in so many ways. Accommodation, plane tickets, museums, observatories, broadway shows and other attractions can take a heavy toll on our pockets. Of course there are tricks to save money. Visiting museums on specific days that offer free or pay as you wish admission, trying the Broadway lottery or picking restaurants that are both tasteful and cheap are some of the traveler hacks.

I know the ideal trip to the Big Apple would include fancy bistros run by international acclaimed chefs. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford this lush life. I know I can’t – at least for now (hehe). That’s why I’m here to share with you five really cool and on a budget food places to dig in and not run out (of money, I mean)!

S’MAC

I went to S’MAC for the first time with some friends in 2017. After that, I keep coming back. I always try to bring family and friends who are visiting, since it has a very American dish: mac ‘n cheese, but with a twist. Their menu is quite different as they have different types of macaroni &cheese served on 6, 8 or 10 inch cast-iron skillet.

I personally love going there because nothing is processed and nothing is pre-cooked. Plus, it’s in the heart of East Village, a very unique and hip neighborhood.

Address: 197 1st Avenue, New York, NY 10003

Artichoke’s Basile Pizza

Still on the Italian cuisine field, I strongly recommend eating at Artichoke’s Basile Pizza. First of all, the slice is huge. Second, there are a bunch of them everywhere. Whether you’re in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the odds of you finding this pizzeria are high. My favorite location is in Chelsea – it’s close to the High Line Park. So after a very nice stroll on the former train tracks, you can take out or grab a table here.

Address: 114 10th Ave, New York, NY 10011

Pommes Frites

This restaurant, located in both West Village has authentic double cooked Belgian fries with a wide selection of sauces in a very rustic – sort of Viking – looking establishment. Ketchup and mayo are free, but the other sauces cost below $2 and the smallest fries portion costs around $7 but it will mostly definitely make you full!

But of course you’re in one the best cities to eat such food, so there are many other places you need to try. That’s why I wrote a post entirely devoted to New Yorker pizzas. After all, pizza is always a good and cheap idea!

Address: 128 Macdougal Street, New York, NY 10012

Pommes Frites, in West Village, has a long list of sauces for you to explore.

Vanessa’s Dumpling House

I love dumplings and I cannot lie! If you’re on the same boat, join me at Vanessa’s Dumplings, a Chinese takeout food at its best value. Especially if you’re talking about eating in Manhattan. With a cost next to nothing, this restaurant is a godsend when you’re really broke and not very picky. Aside from handmade dumplings, they also offer buns, sesame pancakes, and noodles in five different locations. My favorite one is in Union Square, a very busy shopping area.

Address: 220 East 14th Street, New York, NY 10003

Taqueria Diana

Craving Mexican food? No problem. From the eatery’s menu you can choose tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, salad and more. Made with fresh ingredients daily, Taqueria Diana’s appetizing food can be found in East Village, Hell’s Kitchen, Williamsburg and Lower East Side. If you’re down for an economical yet delightful experience, then this is the place to go! I recommend going to the address in Brooklyn, as there are many other things to do and see in the area.

Address: 367 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Cute Shops You Should Visit in New York

We all know New York City is a shopping paradise – as long as you can afford it. Everything you want can be found in this island and proximities. And when I mean everything, it also includes a long list of businesses that sell the most adorable things you could ever think of. I selected a few stores that are specialized in selling the cutest products you can buy, whether it is for you, your home or your loved ones.

Fish Eddy

Perfect for those interested in kitchen decoration. They have a lovely selection of dishes, plates, tablecloths, mugs, glasses, cutting boards and so on. The style tends to be a mixture of simple, funny and sometimes a bit vintage-looking.

Address: 889 Broadway, New York, NY 10003

Besfren Beauty

K-beauty lovers, unite! Lipgloss, lipstick, moisturizers, facial masks, toners. Everything here is impeccably designed. They offer a beautiful and qualified variety of cosmetic products. So tempting that you should watch out – it is really easy to spend a lot of money here. Just don’t confuse it with the dessert shop next doors. Unless you want to spend more money and gain some extra calories!

Address: 315 5th Ave, New York, NY 10016

Exit 9

With locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan, this place has a diverse selection of gifts and novelties. They are very eclectic as they sell accessories, jewelry, books, decorations, office supplies, toys, and even tech and kitchen goods. They have a website in case you want to other their products online.

Address in Manhattan: 51 Avenue A, New York, NY 10009

Alphabets

Across from the same Avenue A, you can stumble upon a compact but not less cute store. I actually purchased a notebook for myself and my friend got a flask to give to his boyfriend. In general, Alphabets sells numerous cards, journals, shirts, toys, decoration and quirky fun products.

Address: 64 Avenue A, New York, NY 10009

Annie’s Blue Ribbon

Located in Brooklyn’s 5th ave, and a few steps away from Barclay’s Center this lovely shop will make you spend a long time going through its shelves while wishing you had enough money to buy every single item there. Stationery, home decor, tech gadget that you may or may not need, travel items and so on. I highly recommend stopping by. Also because the area has a lot of cafés, thrift shops and tasty restaurants. I promise it will be worth your trip!

Address: 232 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215

Annie’s Blue Ribbon is a stationery wonderland!

Flying Tiger

Originally from Denmark, this is an amazing option if you’re into cheap and charming junk. You can buy toys, stationery, home decor, kitchen utensils, workout accessories and whatnot. It is probably the most inexpensive place in this entire list. It can be found in a few locations, such as Brooklyn, Upper East Side and near the Flatiron Building.

Address close to Shake Shack and Fish Eddy: 920 Broadway, 21st and Broadway, New York, NY 10010
