Angels in America dinner break recommendations

The cosmic diner right across the street is good for what it is

You have 2.5 hours between parts, and will be having dinner before the rush really kicks in most places, shouldn't really be any different from seeing any two show day, aside from it being a slightly earlier window of time between shows.

I very much enjoy the West End Cafe on the corner of 49th & 8th (about 3 blocks away). They have a brunch burger that is divine!

I went to Bareburger on 57th between 8th and 9th. It's a chain but I always think their food is good, not too expensive, and if it's a Wednesday marathon you'll be there during happy hour which was an unexpected bonus. I sat at the bar and read a book while leisurely eating and had plenty of time.

Incidentally, when I saw it the week after the snow storm a couple of weeks ago Part I started about 10-15 minutes late because of the box office having issues, so the show got out around 4:50. I definitely overheard some folks worrying about making it to 5 PM reservations. I'm not sure if this is a regular occurrence, starting late, but just a heads up on that possibility.

We saw the show this past Saturday and we ate dinner at Gallagher’s. It is right next door to the Neil Simon. It is an expensive steakhouse. The service is always fantastic. Each table has two servers not one. And there are as many ancillary staff walking around as there are patrons. I love the swing/classic jazz music they play. The steaks are great. They come with a special in house steak sauce that is basically the best marinara I have ever had. I highly recommend this place. We got there about 4:45 and left at about 6:45.

Victors Cafe is also right next door and it is pretty good as well - Cuban/Latin food set in a pretty Havana atmosphere. Ask to sit in the back - the room is nicer.

I ate at Blockheads between parts a couple weeks ago.

i always go to Gahalage'rs whenever I am in the area. Adore their CHICKEN POT PIE! Plus it has such a wonderful ambiance. Where you sit in a dark booth on the second floor and still get waifs of the lively conversations.
