Nice restaurant near The Band's Visit

Hi-

My husband and I are seeing the first preview of The Band's Visit Oct 7, which is the day before our anniversary. Can anyone recommend a restaurant near the theatre district within a $200-$300 price range? Any cuisine is fine, but with at least one vegetarian dish.

Thanks!

Tony's di Napoli, great food and I am vegetarian myself so never had a problem there- 147 W 43rd St, New York City, NY 10036. A+++ Italian food and nice ambiance for a special night out. Enjoy the show!

Trattoria Trecolori would be my recommendation, as well. Good food and it's right across the street.

That will be over $300 for 2 just for dinner!

Definitely doesn't need to be expensive- just that we'd be willing to go that high for a special occasion!

Scarlatto right across the street. When you reserve, tell them you don't want to be upstairs.

If you are looking for convenience as well, three of the options mentioned above are directly across the street from the theater...which who cares if the weather happens to be nice but if it's miserable out, it's a relief to be so close.

The Glass House, Scarlatto and Trattoria Tricolori are all good options and you can find the menus online if you are concerned about vegetarian dishes. Personally if you are thinking Italian, I would chooseTrattoria.

I've eaten at all three restaurants recently (within the last 3 months), and all of their menus skew VERY meat/fish heavy. Just a warning.

I assume when people say vegetarian, they mean no animal protein. Nowadays, vegan is no longer an exotic term, so I assume if someone eats absolutely no animal byproducts (eggs, cheese, etc), they identify themselves as such.

Looking at the menu for Trattoria Trecolori, I'm seeing 4 vegetarian dishes, all pasta. For Scarlatto, 5 vegetarian dishes, also all pasta. Glass House has exactly one vegetarian entree.
