I have a 1:30 matinee this weekend and I am looking for a lunch spot that is an easy walk to the Harvey Theatre and not anything too spicy/ethnic (before a long show - ugh!). Any thoughts? it looks like the BAM Cafe is only open before evening performances.

It’s like a 10 minute walk but Dekalb Market has a collection of some of the yummiest NYC foods.

I’ve only eaten in Brooklyn once at Juliana’s pizza. Pretty good. I think about 21 minutes away from BAM by public transport. Here’s a link I found to places close to BAM.

Mullane's bar and grill on Lafayette may be your best bet.
Dekalb Market or Junior's if you don't mind walking a little further.
Unless bbq isn't too spicy for you, in which case I'd recommend The Smoke Joint.
Directly across form the BAM Opera House there has been, for many years now, a series of different restaurants, all either Austrian and German. At one time the place was quite nice, now it's called The Black Forest. I haven't been there.
There used to be a good Italian place on Fulton called Scopello but it closed, a victim of the rising rents in the neighborhood.
Deniz, a Turkish restaurant very close to BAM, is very good, but like so many of the good nearby restaurants, is "ethnic."
If you don't mind going further into Fort Greene there are many good restaurants, including several French bistros; the neighborhood has a lot of recent immigrants from France. And the quarter of Park Slope nearest to BAM has many good restaurants. I'd highly recommend Convivium, for instance, which is only about five blocks from BAM, but it's only open for dinner.

I opened this thread just to suggest DeKalb Market. That paella place has the best paella I've ever had.
