Lunch in Theatre district - pre-matinee
We are going to see the matinee of Spamalot later this month and are trying to source a nice restaurant in the theatre district where we can enjoy a light lunch before the 2:00 show. Something stylish with good food. Delis are great, but the food is so big. Any suggestions?

Well John''s Pizza is right across the street . They have great pizza and also some good Italian dishes. It used to be an old church many years ago and was converted to a restaurant. Carmines also is across the street......great Italian food family style but if you think the deli food is big.......

I would highly recommend Becco's Italian Restaurant on W. 46th between 8th and 9th - an easy walk from the theatre district and amazing food - we just went there for the first time on Sunday and I can't wait to go back. I know there is a website but am unsure what it is.

Check out some of the Brazillian restaruants on 46th St. There are several between 7th and 6th Ave.
REasonable prices, comfortable, seafood, chicken or beef done a bit differently, but not so much that most people wouldn't enjoy it.

How about The Firebird....taking up the banner for the Russian Tea Room, I think this gorgeous restaurant would be a lovely place for lunch. Russian food is delicious and elegant and not heavy.
My other suggestion is at Rockefeller Center. Might as well take in the fabulous Rock. Morrells Wine Bar has light fare and a little glass of champagne could start a memorable afternoon.

I make it a practice to avoid heavy carb lunches before a concert or theatre. After the theatre maybe, before, No. LMF

HowardR, Sorry to hear food is bad at Sardi's. I was only making a suggestion based upon years of hearing about it as an "in" pre- and post-theatre destination. DH and I stopped there for drinks and found it to have a great ambience and the people were very very nice to us. We didn't eat there but it is a very nice-looking place. I'll stand by stylish for that place.
