Things to Do in the Area
Getting into NYC by Train from SLC
The Bronxville train station is a 10 minute walk from campus and is served by the Metro North Harlem line. A roundtrip off-peak train ticket is $11.50 to Grand Central. Purchase a ticket at the train station (they are more expensive on the train). If you plan on using the subway you can also purchase a Metro card at the station. Most subways are accessible from Grand Central either directly or via the shuttle.
See a Broadway Show
A great way to see a Broadway show—purchase same day tickets from TKTS®, located in the center of Times Square. TKTS® opened for business on June 25, 1973. The booths sell tickets to Broadway, Off-Broadway, Dance and Music events. Tickets are available at 25%, 35%, and 50% off full-price (plus a $3.00 per ticket service charge) and are available on the day of performance. Payment is by cash or traveler's check. All available tickets are posted on boards outside the ticket windows. At the TKTS booth in Times Square, Window 6 is a separate PLAY ONLY line. Same-day discount ticket buyers may queue to purchase tickets for Broadway and Off Broadway dramatic plays. These productions will be indicated on the electronic boards with a letter P.
