Traveling within New York City requires frequent walking and stairs. Please be prepared to walk up to two miles at a time. Walking several miles in a day is common but can be avoided via subways and taxis. Most broadway theaters are not ADA compliant and will require steep stairs to get to our seating. New York subways also have steep stairs. Most of the shows are approximately five blocks from our hotel in which our group will be walking. You are welcome to get a Uber/Lyft/Taxi anytime during the trip at your own expense. If you need assistance, we encourage you to bring along a companion who can assist with any needs you may have, as we are unable to provide caregiving or mobility assistance on our trips.
