Theater district restaurant suggestions?

WIthout knowing your tastes and budget, who knows? But, Joe Allen (always Allen not Allen's) is always a good choice. Home of the notorious flop wall, great burgers, great service perfectly attuned to showtimes.

Reservations are available no more than a week in advance (OpenTable)

Tony dinapoli's; kodama on 45th; pasta lovers on 49th...is always quick and goood food, although it has an awfully tacky name lol



lucky's is also always fun, quick and not too expensive.

Isn't Tony Di Napoli's only family style?

My goto has always been Totto Ramen, but then again, I don't get good ramen where I live so that adds to my bias. They opened a new outlet on 51st & 10th which is still undiscovered and not as busy. They are fast and cheap.

bumping this tread to see if anyone has additional great suggestions for theatre district lunch and dinner recommendations. I honestly have not been impressed with many places ive gone to and looking for help!

thanks!

Some of my favorites ,,,



La Masseria

Tratoria Trecolori

Carmines

Times Square Diner

Hunt and Fish Club

Saju

Gallaghers

I feel like I'm revealing a secret in sharing this, but I love going to Ippudo Westside on 51st Street before a show. The wait there is significantly less than the restaurant's downtown counterpart, and their ramen and pork buns are just the very, very best.

Sit-Down Meals:

- Etcetera Etcetera (44th b/t 8th and 9th)

- Marseille (44th and 9th)

- Yum Yum (46th and 9th)

- Thalia (50th and 8th)

- Rosa Mexicano (62nd and Columbus)

Quick Bites:

- City Kitchen (44th and 8th)

Post-Show Dessert!

- Schmarkary's (45th and 9th)

Becco on 46th or Maria Pia on 51st- both great, very affordable Italian restaurants. Becco's "Sinfonia de Pasta" is to die for, and Maria Pia's prix fixe lunch specials are excellent.

Junior's right in the heart of the theatre district is a perfect spot to eat before or after your show. I eat there pretty much every day when I go to NYC, and I get to NYC about 2-3 times a year. Was just in NYC 2 months ago for 2 weeks, and ate there every evening. They have a very extensive menu and the food is always delicious.

With it being right in the heart of the theatre district, you can get there early, have nice relaxing dinner, or lunch and get to the show without being rushed. Just allow for time as it can get quite crowded right before or after a show. Now that it's summer, the outdoor patio is a great spot to eat at.

Junior's just opened up it's 2nd midtown location on Broadway.

I know it's a chain, but I love Shake Shack. I always plan to get there during off hours so it's not as crowded. Plus, you can get it to go and walk to Bryant Park to eat.
