See a Broadway show — theatres within steps
InterContinental New York Times Square sits in the heart of the Broadway Theatre District, with many houses a short walk away. The Richard Rodgers Theatre and the Shubert Theatre are specifically called out as being only a few steps or about a 5-minute walk from the hotel.
If you plan to see a show the same evening, the concierge can help with last-minute tickets and timing. Arrive early if you want to dine nearby before curtain; many restaurants on Restaurant Row open for pre-theater menus.

| Plan a short walk after the show | Times Square is lively at night and close to the hotel |
