The Theatre has always been a major part of New York tradition; a memorable night is practically guaranteed! Whether you’re planning on heading to an on-Broadway smash, or an off-Broadway independent production, there will always be something suiting your tastes playing on or off Broadway. Just drive your New York rental car over to Times Square’s Theatre District to take in one of the performances! You can choose from comedies, tragedies, musicals, opera and so much more!

A Brief History of Broadway

The first smash theatre built in the New York area was the Park Theatre at City Hall in 1810. The Park Theatre retained full reign over NYC for approximately 10 years until the Bowery Theatre was opened in 1921. These theatres offered a rich line up of shows, but not much variety; all of the productions had a rich Victorian air due to the surge in immigration from European countries to US soil. Tragically the original New York theatre, the Park, was burnt down in the mid to late 1800’s, but the property didn’t sit idol very long. Two brothers purchased the land and rebuilt the theatre, renaming it the Madison Square Theater. This theatre was like no other at the time because of its dual stage feature – the stages were controlled by elevator mechanics and could easily be moved!

The Madison Square theatre was soon known world wide for its revolutionary stage, and it wasn’t long before mechanical dual stages were installed in more and more theatre houses worldwide. In 1891 Madison Square theatre became famous again, this time for installing the first flashing marquee over the boulevard as a way of attracting people to the building. Theatre had finally made it mainstream, with all the glitz and glam of Haollywood! At the turn of the twentieth century more than 16 theatres had been built in what is now the Times Square Theatre District, also know as Broadway. Burlesque acts were also flourishing, marrying theatre with flashy dancing and erotic behavior. The early 1900’s saw over 70 plays performed in New York City, plus a growing popularity in the burlesque sector. The Broadway of today was taking shape!

Today’s Broadway offers none stop entertainment, encompassing multiple genres. When driving through the Theater District in your New York rental car signs advertise everything from the Muppets to musicals, horrors and tearjerkers. Many of the older theatres have kept their original 1920s name but have been replaced with newer, state-or-the-art buildings like Studio 54 and the Majestic.

New York is also home to Off-Broadway theatrical houses. These theatres often house post-Broadway tours of your favorite show so be sure to spin by in your New York car rental to check out the line-ups. Off-Broadway has also been known to launch an unknown independent theatrical piece into Broadway stardom, so be sure to check out some of the locally produced shows! Popular Off Broadway hits include the Little Shop of Horrors, Nunsense, and Bring in Da’ Noise, Bring in Da’ Funk.

Tickets for On and Off Broadway shows can be purchased online at websites like www.broadway.com, www.ticketcity.com and www.gotickets.com. Or you can drive your New York car rental to the theatres box-office. For more information on the shows playing during your next trip to NYC visit the official source for Broadway information at www.ibdb.com. AAMCAR encourages you to take part in this truly New York experience, because a night on Broadway is something that you’ll never forget!

The First subway company in New York City was the IRT – the Interborough Rapid Transit Subway which opened in 1904. This masterpiece of engineering allowed for folks to get from place to place quickly and economically through the use of elevated trainlines throughout the city. It wasn’t long before NYC decided that they needed to build an underground transit system to help resolve the congested streets and the over development of many neighborhoods. The subway system in place today in New York City is run by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York City connecting the Bronx to Brooklyn and everywhere in between. Tired of looking for parking spots in your New York rental car? Why not hop on the subway instead. You’ll not only save yourself a little road rage, but you’ll also feel like a true blue New Yorker!

Parades

New York knows how to kick off holiday’s right, so why don’t you plan to visit the Big Apple during a season of celebration? You’ll have to keep your New York rental car back at the hotel though because many of these parades shut down some of the main streets of the city. Parades include the Columbus Day Parade celebrating the founding father of the Americas, the Easter Parade that features wacky hat designs and colorfully clad pedestrians, the Labor Day Parade that salutes the many men and women who make New York great and of course the Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade that includes wonderfully decorated floats and even Santa Clause is known to make an appearance!

Before the fireworks get underway at night, be sure to drive your New York rental car over to historic Battery Hill to watch the Battery Fourth of July Celebration that features live outdoor concerts on the lawn.

How about searching for some Easter egg fun? If you visit the NYC area during this holiday you can participate in a classic New York tradition.

First you can create your own Easter bonnet at Cherry Hill, before you begin the Easter egg hunt at the Bethesda Fountain. There are also puppet shows, arts and crafts and an Easter bunny petting zoo at Rumsey Playfield.

Making your vacation memorable depends on a few things; where you go, who you go with – but most importantly: Where you stay! Finding the right kind of accommodations for your vacationing style is an important factor for making the most of your vacation. If your trip to New York is a romantic excursion for two, chances are you’ll be spending more time in your hotel room. Traveling with the family? Than you are more than likely going to spend more time in your New York rental car rather than your New York hotel. Vacationers also have different price ranges, from lavishly luxurious to economical and thrifty.

Luxury Accommodations in NYC

For those of you planning on getting some lasting R & R during your trip to New York City, investing in a luxurious hotel could be just what the doctor ordered. Just imagine relaxing in a Jacuzzi style tub, sleeping in late and ordering room service during the wee hours of the morning. Or what about driving up to the valet parking in your New York rental car or getting a massage at the in-house spa. Luxury hotels are a wonderful experience, so why not indulge during your next trip to NYC?

Planning a romantic weekend getaway to surprise your sweetie? Go ahead and splurge! The obvious downfall of luxury hotels are the price. More often than not you’ll end up spending hundreds of dollars per night to live in the lap of luxury and some of the famous penthouse suites can go for thousands. Thrifty shoppers can attempt to find some discounts online at websites like www.priceline.com but be sure to check out the legitimacy of the web company before rendering any credit card information. Some of the popular luxury hotels in New York City include: The Plaza, The Peninsula, The Ritz Carlton and The Grand Hyatt.

Economical Accommodations in New York

Not everyone can afford chocolates on their pillow at night so thankfully there are other alternatives when it comes to finding an affordable hotel accommodation. Most vacations aren’t spent confined inside four walls of a hotel room, so why spend all that money on something that is essentially a bed?

Vacations are about sightseeing in your New York rental car and visiting world famous attractions. So hotels that cost less that $100 a night are often perfect for many family vacations or sightseeing expeditions with friends. Imagine all the cool gifts you can buy with the money you’ll save staying in hotels like the Best Western, or the Days Inn. Another super economical form of accommodation is the hostel or a hotel that has shared bathroom facilities. These dorm styled rooms are perfect for moderate groups of friends planning on taking in the glitz and glam of New York City on a budget.

The most important part about reserving a hotel room is finding the type of accommodation that suites your needs, just like finding the right kind of New York rental car depends on your personal driving needs. Stay tuned to AAMCAR’s website for more in depth reviews on selected luxury and economical accommodations in the New York area.
