• Can we invite guests to a show?

  Yes, we will do our best to accommodate that! Please let us know in advance and we’ll reply with the price.

• Is there a dress code?

  Our number one suggestion is to be comfortable! You will see a wide variety, in both theatres and restaurants (none of our restaurants require a jacket). Smart casual to smart dress works! It is important to be ready to walk a few blocks in unpredictable weather, so keep that in mind for both foot and protective wear.

Meals

• I have a friend in NYC, can they come to dinner?

  Absolutely! Please let us know in advance and we’ll reply with the price.

• Are drinks included with meals?

  We offer beer, wine, soft drinks and coffee at all dinners.

Accessibility

• Are stairs required at the theatres and restaurants?

  All theatres have accessible seats but most restaurants will require stairs to get to our group’s event space. If you cannot walk up stairs, you may be seated in a different area inside the restaurant. Please let us know if you require assessable seats when we send out a survey in January.

• Can you accommodate accessible seating for the shows?

  We will send out a survey in January where you can tell us your seating requirements. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.

• Do the theatres offer Assisted Listening Devices, Open/Closed Caption, or Audio Description?

  Some theatres do offer Assisted Listening Devices, Open/Closed Caption, and Audio Description upon request. We will send out a survey in January where you can tell us if you need these services, and we will do our best to reserve them for you.

• What if I need other accommodation not listed here?

  Please email nyc@broadwaysanjose.com and we will look into it for you.

Transportation

• Is airfare included in the price of the trip?

  No.

• Which is the best airport to use?

  New York City is served by three airports: JFK, LGA and EWR. Pick what flight works best for you. There are direct flights from SJC to JFK on JetBlue. SFO offers more options. Pay attention to arrival time. It can take more than 1 hour to get to your hotel from either of those 3 airports during rush hour. Our first event is the Welcome Cocktails on Thursday evening at 5 PM so please arrive at least a few hours prior!

• How do we get from the airport to the hotel?

  There are a variety of options from public transportation to a NY taxi cab. Cost for a cab or Uber/Lyft is in the $65 range (not including tip or tolls). Fares are regulated, and you will get a price before you accept. Plan for 45 minutes to 1 hour during non-rush hour and at least 1.5 hours during rush hour.

  When departing, the hotels will get you a cab or you can call an Uber/Lyft. Prices are similar.

• How do we get around New York City?

  All of our activities are located in/around Times Square within a couple of blocks of each other, so we just walk! If walking is difficult for you, you can take a taxi on your own but please allow double the amount of time needed for walking because traffic can be very bad in Times Square.
