Broadway Shows - New York

Visiting a Broadway show usually tops people’s to-do lists when they travel to New York. If you are want a classic show, go for ‘Phantom of the Opera’ or ‘Les Miserables’ (I prefer Les Mis!), and you will not be disappointed.
If you are looking for something more recent, ‘Wicked’ and ‘Spring Awakening’ are both fantastic. My FAVORITE show, and my biggest recommendation, is ‘Avenue Q’. The score is hilarious, the story is heartwarming, and you will definitely love it! (and there are puppets!)
If you are going to see one Broadway show in your life, really be selective. Some shows are fun but not a must-see (‘Putnam County Spelling Bee’) and some shows are just worth skipping despite their level of being well known (‘Beauty and the Beast’).

That is a great recommendation. You can also get some info on it at the Airport New York when you land.

I’d have to say that RENT was my fav!
What a great production. If you buy a “2 for” ticket, you get 2 for the price of one, usually on the matinee showings. Ask your hotel or the New York Airport Info where to buy them. They are all over the city.Explorer1157898

I'm a Bondi local...it is always packed with people...if you're looking for a more chilled beach hang out, check out Tamarama, Coogee or Bronte beach, all 5-10mins from Bondi.
A tip for people looking for a decent coffee shop.. if you don't already know about it, you will because most Contiki travellers find out about it - its The Grasshopper. Ask a local and they should be able to tell you where to find it.
For a different take on Bass Lake history, read Hells Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs by Hunter S. Thompson. A good read on the Wild Western.
