Marlo Thomas Featured in New York Post's 'My New York'

In the regular 'My New York' series, the New York Post features actress and activist Marlo Thomas who gives readers a glimpse into her favorite pastimes and haunts in New York City.

An avid athlete, Thomas counts NYC's Central Park as one of her favorite places to exercise, "I love the park. It's like my own back yard. I run in it five times a week and while I am running, I'm also people-watching. After a while you begin to recognize some of the people who are also regular runners. It makes it feel like a campus," Thomas says in the NY Post feature.

Amongst her cultural favorite spots is the Broadhurst Theatre, located at 235 W. 44th St., between Seventh and Eighth avenues. The theatre holds fond memories for Thomas, "I will always have a special place in my heart for this theater because it's where I did my first Broadway show ["Thieves"]. The theater was right across the street from Sardi's, and so I used to run over after each show. I remember thinking, ‘Wow, I am really a New Yorker now."
