Favorite spots for Pre-Broadway Drinks/Dinner — Page 2

Din Tai Fun is opening in NYC July 11. Right across the street from the Winter Garden. Famous dumplings, I’ve been to the one in Seattle, very popular place.

I make a visit to 44 & X (yes it’s at 44th and 10th avenue) on all of my theater trips. It has a great food menu and the cocktail menu is fun as all the drinks are named after Broadway shows. The location is great for dining prior to shows located on 44th/45th streets.

My new favorite spot is Spice Symphony. It is a delicious Indian/Chinese place. There is a location in UES as well as right off Times Square on I think 46th street. Delicious!!!

Broadway Flash said: "Has anyone ever gone to FrikiTiki? How is it?It looks like it’s owned by the head of seaview."

I enjoyed it there, the piano player is fun and has a great rapport with the audience (I dont' remember which one since I think there's multiple) and it's just a good vibe throughout, though a bit loud if you want to actually have conversation. I wasn't obsessed with any of their specialty cocktails but they weren't bad, and the food is good enough for light bar bites. I know they had a partnership with Natalie Joy Johnson to do some themed nights when she was in Lempicka, so I think it would be cool if they did more of that.

Dear Irving opening on 55th Street and Broadway

Happened to stumble into Miss Nellie's on W. 44th (btw 8th and 9th) between shows last night, and this might be my new favorite theater district restaurant and watering hole. Great drinks menu, really good food (the French dip, s'mores, and sticky toffee pudding are all highly recommended), and fun ambiance and decor (themed on 19th century journalist and round-the-world traveler Nellie Bly). Live music was starting just as we left. Happy hour M-F 4-6 pm and Su-Th 11-close. They've only been open about four weeks, and I'd love to see this place succeed. Check it out!
