All of the theaters you are going to are within a 5 block radius of each other, and they're close to many good restaurants. 9th Avenue/Restaurant Row is right up the block. It would be helpful to know what kind of food your party is -- or isn't -- interested in, price range, etc.

If you are thinking of Juniors at a popular time, allow time to get in. There is often a large wait and a huge crowd. The food is good but for me, not worth the wait.

If you are looking for a burger place near On Your Feet - Goodburger at 9th Ave and 45th Street. John's pizzeria is good...also sometimes a wait.

I like some of the quieter smaller restaurants on 9th Avenue...such as Empanada Mama on 9th and 51st?(I think). You can order a little or a lot - and it's very reasonable...and you can get a lot of variety there. There are a lot to pick from on 9th Ave -less touristy than 8th and below.

I really appreciate everyones input. Since it is a weekend, I think we would feel better at places that take reservations. Definitely nothing touristy, would like a nice atmosphere, possibly trendy/ cool NY vibe, some atmosphere, but not insane prices. Hopefully not too noisy, since this is a reunion and we would like to be able to hear each other. Open to all types of food, Before FH ( Circle ), would like a full dinner Friday night. Saturday we are having a later lunch, so we would like maybe something trendy w/ an assortment of good apps before SOR ( Winter Garden). Sunday Lunch/ Brunch before OYF ( Marquis), apps & drinks after before heading back. BTW- We come from Boston, also meeting friends from NJ and a newer NYC resident. Can't Wait!

DonAntonio's on W 50th right off of 8th. About a minute walk from Circle in the Square and 5 or less minutes from the Winter Garden. Trendy atmosphere. Italian food with some specialty pizzas. Not just pizza.

Why not just Google places near the theatres you want to go to?

For a more upscale experience try the Palm ... across from Fun Home on 50th Street. Pricey but great steak.

Masseria for Italian...also in the area.

Both take reservations and will get you out in time for theatre.

If you are a budget and can get in (no reservations) there is Kung Fu Ramen on 8th and 49th.It's a whole in

the wall with great Soup Dishers, dumpling and noodle dishes.

It's a bargain

I like Toloache for Mexican food. On the same street as Fun Home. Not cheap, but delicious. It's best to make reservations.

Also, I agree with Finding Namo about Glass House Tavern on 47th. It's so nice and calm and relaxed in there, quite a contrast to the area.

A "hole in the wall" is very plain, unfancy, sometimes a little grungy in appearance - so you might not walk inside but has really delicious food. I think Mee Noodles on 9th Avenue also qualifies..

I want to thank everyone for all your wonderful recommendations. I only wish we had time to try them all! I sent the link of responses to my friend and let her pick, since I had picked the shows, so don't blame me for not sampling your recommendation.

For the record, We had dinners at Trattoria Trecolor and Thalia, plus brunch at Glass House Tavern.

We were thrilled with all. They took reservations, great food and ambiance, at a comfortable price point. The Locations took the stress out of getting to the shows on time.

FYI- Loved all the shows- Fun Home Friday, School of Rock Saturday, On your Feet Sunday! Left NYC on such a high. Can't wait to come back. Only glitch, Next time I'll ask for parking recommendations. Parked on 45th behind the Marquis. Took an hour to get my friend from NJ's car!

Another vote for Toloache.
