For all the nights I've spent in the theater district, you'd think I wouldn't have to ask. But I don't typically go out after shows. Tonight is a special occasion. What Theater District restaurants/bars would you recommend for drinks or special desserts after a show?
bar centrale! Above Orso.
west bank café. 42nd/9th
thalia. 50th/8th
hell's kitchen. 46th/9th!
Upstairs bar at Sardis or the Paramount Bar for just drinks
Joe Allen for drinks and desserts
Don't tell mama
Also I second Bar Centrale
oops, forgot my new SECRET fave - BE. 43rd/9th. New joint about a month old . Stupendous cocktails!, speakeasy atmosphere, nice small plate food!
If you don't mind being surrounded by tourists, Juniors has amazing cheesecake and other artery clogging desserts as well as cool specialty coffees. It's often a mob scene though. Bar Centrale is cool, but it's a fortune, if you can even get in. Bring your entire bank account if you go.
Lillie's on 49th. It can be a bit loud, but the food and drinks are excellent.
I second Thalia's -- though I haven't been there after a show. (Also enjoyed the drinks and small-plate food!)
Anywhere but the theatre district. A bunch of tourist traps.
R Lounge at the the Renaissance Hotel in Times Square
