For tourists and native New Yorkers alike, if you're in midtown, definitely stop by and see what might be on the boards. Theater tickets for that very day are usually discounted at least 50%, and you will have to pay a service fee. And only cash is accepted. They've had some really popular Broadway shows on the boards lately; Phantom, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Avenue Q. It's first-come, first serve so if you want better seats, drop by early in the morning to get tickets. This is really a great option for those who don't plan in advance and might be interested in incorporating a show in their evening.
