"A Theater District institution since 1965, this charming neighborhood bistro with posters of old Broadway flops lining the walls is more efficient than a Broadway dresser during a quick change. You can walk in 90 minutes before your show starts, sit at the bar, and be out of there with at least 30 minutes to spare. Most of the food isn’t life-changing, but their thick burger with fries and an ice-cold dirty martini with a generous sidecar is our ideal pre-theater meal." - bryan kim, sonal shah, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, ciera velarde, arden shore
