CLOSE TO THE MOXY
If you have time, here are a few things to check out close to this glam hotel.
Explore under the sea at National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey Steps from Times Square and close to the Moxy, the new family-friendly experience from National Geographic lets you can dance with fishes, touch all the coral you want and get up close and personal with a ginormous whale. You go on an underwater voyage from the South Pacific to California, and along the way, you can play with sea lions, get lost wandering through a fun house garden of sea kelp, and watch a dramatic battle between two Humboldt squid.
Try a little country at the Opry City Stage Take a break from the hustle and bustle of Times Square for the down home, country feel of the Opry City Stage, another brand new attraction in Midtown near the Moxy. Fried chicken and waffles, plenty of brisket, and cold beer are among the southern delights served up along with live country bands taking the stage. Between sets on the City Stage, giant screens show live performances piped in straight from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
Take a walk to Come From Away This acclaimed Broadway production about travellers stranded in Gander, Nfld. during 9/11 will hit every single emotion you have and a few you didn’t know were there. Come From Away will make you feel good about humanity. It is wonderful. And it’s a 10-minute walk from the Moxy. After the crowd finishes applauding and everyone starts to file out of the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, look for people with any Canadian or Newfoundland paraphernalia and share a patriotic nod.
