Dinner and a Show: NYC

Hope College is excited to offer this tour of the greatest city in the world New York City! Shows on Broadway are always changing, but there’s one thing you can count on: you will always have amazing talent – top-notch voices, heartbreaking acting and stellar high kicks. There are too many shows for one trip, but we will provide a mix of genres, comedy, drama, classic and contemporary, stories that you already know and love, and some that are original and new to everyone. We will also vary the size of the audience, as you may have a different experience watching a live show in a large theatre versus an intimate setting. The restaurants we will experience are ones that Lindsey or her close friends have a personal connection with. They are places she is proud to share that capture the heart of NYC. They are places where she has taken her family, interacted with A-list celebrities, or that have a level of hospitality and NYC charm that can’t be beaten. Some are geared toward the tourist crowd, but most are best-kept secrets and local favorites. Through live performances, great food and historical sites, we look forward to sharing New York City with you!
