Travelling to NYC in 2006 X'mas?

hi, I would like to know are there any unique and less touristy events or places in NYC? I am particualrly interested in special things. Thank you so much. Another Question is, I want to see some more popular broadway show like Hair Spray, do you think I will have a chance get a ticket in the booth there?cause purchasing online seems not a very good deal. Thank you sooo much!

Don't be afraid to purchase tickets online. Also, if you have a Ticketmaster near you, you can get show tickets there in person before you go.

I am not sure about the availability of tickets in the half-price booths, it is day-by-day. I do not know how close or how often you come to New York City, but you could try the theater development fund (tdf.org), they are an organization that for a modest fee (~$25 per year) allows you to purchase seats for Broadway at much cheaper prices. Another option is to try the box office a short while before the curtain to see if they have any last-minute cancellations or discount tickets.



As for unique and less touristy events, it is best to head to the outer boroughs. If you come to Brooklyn, there is a wonderful holiday light display at the entrances to Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Check out a magazine like Time Out New York (timeoutny.com) which is an excellent resource on activities in the city.
