Directions to Orpheum Theatre

Our first time in New York the end of July and we want to see Stomp at the Orpheum. We are staying at the Hampton Inn/ Times Square. Would greatly appreciate specific directions by City Transit including time we should allow for travel. The shows are at 8pm. Would there be any safety issues for this area at night? There are no discounts for tickets on line through Theatre Mania. Are there discounts through the TKTS booths? Thanks!

Directions to Orpheum Theatre

Stomp is regularly at the TKTS booth and also usually has discount codes on broadwaybox. Perhaps for the summer season, now that school%26#39;s out, the codes have ended for a bit. I would certainly try at the tkts booths. There%26#39;s one at the south street seaport downtown that%26#39;s usually less crowded. Info here

Drumstruck is another option to Stomp and there may be discounts online for that.

hopstop.com will also map your route.

TKTS had discounts last week and Broadwaybox.com has a recently expired coupon, which suggests that the show is selling well at the moment, but may not be at the end of July, so keep checking.

The area is safe, though one should always be aware. I would give about 45 minutes to get to the theater. Take the N or the R to Astor Place and walk down. There is also a nice restaurant with simple, but good food on the downtown corner of the block the Orpheum is on, though the name escapes me at the moment, if you want a bite to eat.

The Orpheum is on the gateway to the East Village - a little edgy, a little funky, sometimes overpriced, sometimes a bargain. There are dozens of interesting and off-beat places to eat and shop.

For great Polish food, try Little Poland or Veselka.

Haveli is a great, cheap Indian restaurant. Much better than the 30-Indian-restaurants-with-one-big-kitchen on East 6th STreet.

Fruit di Mare and Cucina De Pesce are a few blocks away, and both serve big plates of cheap, decent Italian food.

If you want a ';heart attack on a plate';, get some dep fried onions, fried chicken and ribs at BBQs. Not the best bbq by any means, but plentiful.

For shopping, stroll St. Marks Place. Also, stop in at Love Saves the Day. Great store.
