Broadway Shows Resume in New York This September

Average temperature low and high: 61°-76°
New York City in September—where the air starts to lose its summer sizzle, but the city's cultural scene just starts heating up. If tennis grunts and Broadway melodies are your jam, the city is buzzing with the US Open and the commencement of the new Broadway season. Foodies can indulge in the rich flavors of Little Italy during the Feast of San Gennaro. For those who prefer their tunes to span from Bruce Springsteen to Wu-Tang Clan, your eardrums are in for a treat. And let's not forget, biking around Central Park or sailing towards Lady Liberty are charming options for soaking in the quieter side of NYC. September here isn't just a month; it's an experience.

September Event Calendar

The Great Gatsby - Off Broadway

The Great Gatsby - Off Broadway

The Gatsby Mansion at the Park Central Hotel has been jazzed up into a rollicking, interactive theater for The Great Gatsby. This isn't your grandma's theater experience. You're not just watching the drama. You're in it, clinking glasses with Gatsby himself. The venue, a stone's throw from 7th Ave, has been transformed into a 1920s extravaganza, complete with bootleg liquor, fancy cocktails and syncopated rhythms. Dress code? Pish-posh! Come as you are, or slip on your best flapper or three-piece suit. Just be ready for a 2.5-hour romp through the jazz age. And remember, what happens at Gatsby's, stays at Gatsby's. Check ticket availability
