Don’t Forget the TKTS Booth in Brooklyn!
This weekend at the NYTimes Travel Show I met a reader who lives near the TKTS Booth in Brooklyn. This is the newest TKTS Booth (there is one in Times Square and another at the South Street Seaport) and she tipped me off to the fact that since it’s less well known (and perhaps a bit off the beaten track for many tourists) there are rarely any lines!
Visitors to New York City staying at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge are just a short walk from the TKTS Booth, but even if you’re staying elsewhere, a visit to the Brooklyn TKTS Booth might make sense for you.
The TKTS Booth is located very close to many subway lines (A/C/F to Jay Street-Borough Hall; M/R/2/3/4/5 to Court Street-Borough Hall; or M/R to Lawrence Street) making it easy to get to from just about anywhere in Manhattan. If you were thinking of walking over the Brooklyn Bridge, you could easily take the subway to Brooklyn and get tickets for a show that night before you walk over the Brooklyn Bridge back into Manhattan. The Brooklyn TKTS Booth also sells matinee tickets a day in advance, so it would be very convenient to pick up tickets for a matinee if you’re gong to spend the day (or evening) in Brooklyn.
With a little planning, you can replace the time you would spend waiting in line at the other TKTS booths with a little quality time in Brooklyn!
