I love the TKTS Booth in Times Square (there's also a location at South Street Seaport. The booth moved from it's normal location due to construction, so for the next few months look for it's temporary location just outside the New York Marriott Marquis hotel on West 46th Street, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue. There is one window that exclusively offers plays, the other windows offer musicals and plays.

If you're lucky you an get tickets to just about any show - the more popular Broadway musicals run out first. There are always staff on hand to give you suggestions on what play to see if you're not sure which one to select.
