Exploring New York City is a unique and stimulating experience, but knowing where to go and what to do can make your experience in Manhattan that much more fulfilling. NYC is filled with some of the world’s best restaurants, theater and museums, with more events and sightseeing than you can imagine. Here are some suggestions from the Hotel Wales staff on local attractions and events going on around the city.
The Lion King on Broadway
Throughout the Year
Having been on Broadway for 10 years now, The Lion King Musical is one of the best shows on Broadway hands-down. Winner of several Tony Awards, the show consists of live-action performance of actors in animal costumes, elaborate set designs, giant puppets, and wonderful musical performances, all based on the hit 1994 Disney film. The show is currently being put on at the Minskoff Theater and continues to sell-out shows year-round, for more info on ticket sales, click here.

Times Square New Year’s Eve Bash
December 31, 2007
This year, be sure not to miss the famous Times Square New Year’s Eve Bash, where you can watch the Waterford crystal ball slowly descend as the clock ticks towards midnight. A tradition that began on December 31, 1907, the Times Square celebration is celebrated across the globe via satellite, but there’s no better way to enjoy all the festivities than experiencing it in person. Featuring live musical performances, parades, and a crystal ball that is constantly modified to spice things up (this year’s ball has undergone a major overhaul to celebrate the 100th anniversary); this event is truly one-of-a-kind. Come ring in 2008 in true fashion at the Times Square New Year’s Bash, conveniently located nearby the Hotel Wales.
