It was very easy to get the tickets I wanted. Headout also had the lowest price, and we got very good seats. I was visiting from Florida, my daughter and I went to see Life of Pi. It was very impressive how they interpreted the story. A very unique enjoyable experience. We had dinner at Daniela Trattoria, a short walk from the theatre. The food was excellent and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend. We were in Manhattan during the wild fires in Canada. The city was shrouded in this erie haze, terrible air quality, but lots of foot traffic anyway. We will use headout for my next visit.
