BICE is my favorite restaurant (A bit pricey). I was there last week and went to La Mangeoire on 2nd between 53rd & 54th. Good food and fairly reasonable prices. I also like to eat downstairs at Grand Central Station. They have a pretty wide variety of food down there with places to sit.

Posted: 12/13/07 at 1:41pmJuniors is a terrific place to eat before going to the theatre. Arrive early, that way you have a leisurely dinner and not be rushed trying to get to your show. All the food is very good and, it's a good price.

Posted: 12/13/07 at 1:51pmI'll agree with Juniors, or the Edison Cafe, located in the Edison Hotel. Nothing fancy. It actually has an entry from the street, but you may come across a broadway performer or two eating there.
Broadway Shows I've Seen: Hairspray, Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors (2003), The Wedding Singer, Spamalot, Riverdance, Rent, Beauty and the Beast, Spring Awakening, Wicked, Legally Blonde, Phantom of the Opera, Sweet Charity (revival), Drowsy Chaperone, The Lion King, Dreamgirls(2010 Tour).

Even though it’s a chain and not a real NY restaurant, Ruth's Chris is great, but really pricey.
If anyone can recommend any other steak houses that would be great and a good deli too.
I just found out today that I will be back in NY in April or May seeing another 6 or 7 shows.

Also, if you are seeing anything at The Marquis Theatre, where DROWSY is, you can eat in the Marriott's main restaurant on the lobby level and get 25% off. Just show your server your ticket.
But, I have noticed that the discount varies.......in the winter when it's slower, the discount is 25%. When I was in NYC at Christmas, the discount was only 10%.

My favorite place to eat before the theatre is Breeze. It's on 9th Avenue between 45th Street and 46th Street. It's not a touristy place, as such the prices are actually decent and you can usually get a table no problem. It's Thai-French fusion. They have a cool decor and really good appetizers too.
I refuse to eat before a show anywhere east of 9th Avenue. It's just too crowded with people, too expensive, and there aren't very many good choices.
That said, John's is delicious, although their original location in the Village has a lot more character.
If you only have 20 minutes and don't want a hot dog, Minar on 46th Street between 6th Avenue and 7th Avenue is basically the cheap Indian equivalent of a Panda Express. I've had many a rushed pre-show meal there.

Posted: 12/13/07 at 5:05pmI love Rue 57 on 57th on the corner of Avenue of The Americas, I believe. If you like sushi I really like Hakata...I think it's on 48th in between Broadway and 8th right outside Times Square.

Posted: 12/13/07 at 5:45pmMaria Pia on 51st between 8th and 9th. Excellent Italian, reasonable prices (I believe the most expensive dish on the menu is $20), and a fabulous wine list.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 12/13/07 at 7:30pmI LOVE Becco's on 46th and 8th. It's amazing italian food at a good price. My favorite part is their all you can eat pasta special. They'll have 3 pasta dishes of the day and if you get the all you can eat, you just get unlimited servings of those 3 pasta dishes. When I last went, it was penne ala vodka with shrimp, linguine with pesto, and some weird fish ravioli that I didn't touch because I hate seafood. But the food was amazing.

Posted: 12/13/07 at 8:22pmI third Vynyl. It's a mix of Thai and American food at a reasonable price with a good atmosphere. If you want a diner, the Cosmic Diner on 52nd and 8th is good. John's is good too. If you go with the Mariot, you may want to go to The View on the top of the hotel. They have an all you can eat buffet for around $30 and it's a revolving restaurant.
