I love the yum yum restaurants on 9th. They aren't expensive, the food is delicious, and they are FAST.

Kashkaval is bit too north, but is still decidedly Hell's Kitchen and within easy walking range of theatres. It's my favorite place in the area (even if its current incarnation lacks the charm of its original deli storefront).

I tried BEA'S a few weeks ago, noisy, but upbeat, creative.  Very yummy.

Joe Allen's

Bare Burger

Five Napkin Burger

Juniors has really good deli fare and cheesecake if you don't mind the mobs of tourists.

Rosa Mexicana if you're going to Lincoln Center.

Cafe Angus.  (great meat pies! Sat next to Michael Musto last time I was there.  He had his shoes wrapped with big wool scarves like he was some kind of muppet.)

Tony Di Napoli on 43 street.

Wonderful.  And I hate to share this cause its getting awfully popular and i need a table.

Why, Le Bernardin of course. For those days when you find an extra $300 in your jacket pocket.

But it really is worth the splurge if you can manage it.

I'd also recommend Joe Allen's. It's the perfect setting before or after the theatre not only because of its convenient location but because of all those wonderful flop theatre posters hung on the walls. Besides the food being good, the servers are extremely pleasant (not to mention attractive too). I was there recently and was surprised at how reasonable the prices still are....especially for a restaurant in the Times Square theatre district.

My default is Thalia, 50th and 8th. Great food, moderate prices, great ambiance.

Joe Allen is definitely my favorite for AFTER evening theatre, which is when I really prefer to eat in the evenings.

Before a Wednesday matinee I love the Indian buffet at UTSAV.   But not on Saturday or Sunday when they cut it down from the busy businessman patrons during the week, and I think even charge more.

For really casual there are so many good places on 9th Avenue -- Room Service is my favorite for Thai.  By the way, I think Delta Grill is gone as is the Film Center Cafe which I really liked.

I like Latannzi, but it's really pretty overpriced, even though the decor, space, and service are really worth it.   I've never understood the attraction of Becco, which so many seem to love -- especially the "all you want of three of the most tasteless pastas you'll ever have" special.

Delta Grill is still around -- Film Center Cafe is gone, though, sadly.

Becco is fine if you order off the regular menu. The pasta specials taste like Midwestern chafing dish fare. 

That said, La Masseria is my go-to for Italian. I also really like Scarlatto, which is across from the Barrymore on 47th Street.

Pongsri is my go-to for Thai.

I like 44 and X but it gets pretty crowded, especially on weekends.

I used to go to Angus fairly regularly, but the last few times I was there, the bloom seemed to be off the rose. Lousy food at high prices, and lots and lots of tourists.

I like Pio Pio (peruvian)  in Hell's Kitchen, but the noise level is insane in the main dining room.

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 6/13/15 at 9:00am

Agreed. Pio Pio makes the best ceviche I've ever had, but the experience would've been 100x better if I'd been alone or we'd all been fluent in sign language.

Ditto thumbs-up for Smith's, Trattoria Trecolori and Pure Thai.  But my usual casual, go-to places are the recently reopened Westway Diner (9th near 44th) and the Times Square Grill (8th near 49th).  The latter is especially good if you don't like being rushed, and the food is very fresh and well prepared. But oh, how I miss Cafe Edison's soups!

 I went there this week before seeing disenchanted. I enjoyed the food there, I got a grilled chicken ceaser salad and my girlfriend got a personal sized pizza. Nice atmosphere there too with the old movies being played on the walls. I would go back.
