What to pack for a Times Square stay
Pack for fast city days, variable weather, and show nights. Bring comfortable walking shoes, layered clothing for spring–fall or a warm coat in winter, a portable charger and theater-appropriate outfits; plan to use hotel services like the 24-hour Marquis Fitness Center and on-site restaurants rather than an on-site pool or spa.

Theater nights, dining and extras
