New York is iconic for a reason. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the wide range of broadway shows, and the New York Aquarium are all exciting attractions to keep you toasty during the bitter January temperatures. Exhibits and candlelight concerts are also popular, as well as Chinatown at night because of its dazzling lights. For food, you'll have no shortage of the classics, like pizza slices, soup dumplings, and pastrami on rye, but if you're craving something more unique, check out the "Dining in the Dark" experience.

Broadway shows in January

2023 on Broadway begins with a bang as music, comedy, and drama springs to life in the heart of New York.

Welcome the new year by attending some of Broadway's most famous shows. "Chicago - The Musical" will play at the Ambassador Theatre, while "The Phantom of the Opera," the longest-running show in history, can be experienced at the Majestic Theatre on West 44th.

"Funny Girl" at the August Wilson Theater is another exciting option, as it showcases the talents of Lea Michele and Jane Lynch, who starred in the hit show "Glee." Additionally, classics like "Little Shop of Horrors," "The Lion King," and "Aladdin" continue their open run at the Westside Theater Upstairs, Minskoff Theater, and the New Amsterdam Theater, respectively.

If you're looking for something more off-broadway, we recommend "Colin Quinn: Small Talk" and "Sugar Daddy," the latter of which stars comedian Sam Marrison. For Tony award-winning productions, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," "Wicked," and "Hamilton" are not to be missed.

Things to Do in New York in January

Get A Luxurious Spa Treatment

NYC

Winter means dry skin and stress for many people, but fortunately, New York City has some of the best spas in the world. Take a day to yourself and splurge on unique spa treatments, like a wine bath at Aire, a Geisha facial using nightingale droppings at Shizuka Day Spa, or leech therapy at Silesian Holistic Center. While some may seem odd, you'll be amazed at how refreshed you feel afterward.

Eat In Pitch-Black
