If you're looking for the heartbeat of the theater district, follow the crowds to Duffy Square. Bounded by Broadway and Seventh Avenue, this plaza is the ultimate gateway for music and drama lovers. Since 1973, it's been the go-to destination for those seeking reduced-price theater tickets at the famous TKTS booth.
