40. Shakespeare in the Park


We have already done a post on Central Park in general, but this deserves a mention of its own.  Shakespeare in the park is an event that goes on throughout the summer in Central Park.  This year the performers will be doing The Winter’s Tale and the Merchant of Venice.  You might be surprised to learn that Al Pacino will be acting in The Merchant of Venice.
You can come down and see a free play (if you can get tickets).  Since the tickets are free they are in fairly high demand.  You will either have to get them by standing in line at Central Park, get them online (chosen randomly), or buy them.  If you make a sizable donation to Shakespeare in the Park you can reserve some tickets.
If you can land the tickets, Shakespeare in the Park is one of the most highly regarded things to do in NYC.  It’s free and you may walk away with a bit of culture when it is over.
