Need a FUN place in Theatre District to get together#1

Posted: 7/25/07 at 1:19am

Looking for a fun (not cheesy) place to eat in the Theatre District. This will be for several friends who haven't seen each other in a long time...some in the biz but from out of town...looking for a place with great food and cocktails where we can talk and really have a good time with our group. Don't want to be rushed and want a place we can feel relaxed in. Suggestions? THANKS!

Vynl on 9th Avenue and 51st Street. It's a really fun place to just enjoy yourself, drink, eat, and listen to some oldies.

Vynl is very LOUD.

If you want someplace fun, get on a train and go to the village. Midtown sucks. :)

Depending on your group size, The Playwright Tavern and Restaurant on W 49th is right in the heart of the Theater District and they have different levels, so there might be a room or a corner where you can gather. I have seen many a Broadway performer dine there between shows or after. Nice casual pub feel, and the food was good last time I was there.

There is a Mexican restaurant with great margaritas somewhere in the district. I forget the name of it. It's all outdoor seating, so you guys can be as loud as (the hell) you want in a very fun atmosphere.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I second the Playwright. Their Cobb salad is awesome. The chicken fingers are awesome. Full bar...quiet...great prices.

The Mexican Restaurant you speak off is Blockheads on 50th between 8th and 9th I believe right by New World Stages.

Is anyone else here having a LITTLE DOG LAUGHED moment?
