The 29 Best Theater District Restaurants - New York - The Infatuation

"Directly across the street from the Winter Garden Theatre, Din Tai Fung should be near the top of your list for a convenient yet special pre-show meal. The Taiwanese soup dumpling empire's largest worldwide location serves up its famous xiao long bao in Midtown West, where you can watch chefs fold their wrappers into 18 precise pleats in a glass-walled kitchen. It’s the best kind of dumpling dinner theater, performed in an enormous, subterranean dining room. Get yourself at least one steamer basket of the shockingly delicious Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao." - bryan kim, sonal shah, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, ciera velarde, arden shore
