I feel so blessed living in NYC because there is always something to do! Whether that be trying a hot spot for dinner or seeing the latest Broadway show, or both, I am truly never bored! The only downfall, things tend to be more expensive- like, a lot more expensive. My trick to balling on a budget while getting to see and do everything I want is Groupon. Groupon has so many amazing options to choose from, there’s something for everyone to enjoy! Here is a roundup of my favorite “dinner and a show” options for your next night out! Everything is clickable so you can easily shop the best deals from Groupon!

New York City is more than just a place—it’s a rhythm, a heartbeat, a dream waiting to be realized. In Hell’s Kitchen, that dream belongs to a young girl navigating the chaotic yet electric streets of Manhattan, where every note, every challenge, and every moment brings her closer to discovering her true voice. Inspired by the journey of Alicia Keys, this Broadway sensation isn’t just a musical—it’s a movement, a feeling, a story that sings straight to your soul.
A “great, big Broadway extravaganza that explodes with life and energy”, this story of extravagance and longing is based off the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

It intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and Queen Persephone — as it invites you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back.

The denizens of the Kit Kat Club have created a decadent sanctuary inside Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre, where artists and performers, misfits and outsiders rule the night. Step inside their world. This is Berlin. Relax. Loosen up. Be yourself.
The darkly hilarious and wildly inventive musical about the bizarre true story of outlaw-turned- corpse-turned-celebrity Elmer McCurdy. As Elmer’s body finds even more outlandish adventures in death than it could have ever hoped for in life, the show explores fame, failure, and the meaning – or, utter meaninglessness – of legacy. Dying is no reason to stop living life to its fullest.
