是的，晚餐可以是剧院，但是当您有百老汇戏的门票时，这并不是什么重点。您可能想要一顿特殊的一餐：在值得特别夜晚的餐厅里，但不一定是主要活动；食物很棒，但不一定是令人震惊的地方；服务快速有效的地方（毕竟您有一个窗帘可以制作，或者可以回家的床，尤其是在一个工作日之夜）；以及您可以预订的地方，或者至少有合理的期望及时获得桌子。最后，当然，它应该在大多数剧院的步行距离之内。（第十大道太远了！）剧院区及其周围有很多地方可以用餐，但这绝对是最好的晚餐。
The绝对Best
1.Danji
346 W. 52nd St., nr. Ninth Ave.; 212-586-2880
Danji might be the hippest restaurant in Midtown West, in the vein of downtown and Brooklyn spots likeMomofuku Noodle BarorFranny’s，设法跨越了快速休闲和细食之间的界限，并由认真的，疯狂的动力驱动，该动力使进餐固有地快节奏，但从未匆忙或马虎。事实证明，这种风格非常适合剧院进行：您可以进出，并且仍然感觉自己已经拥有完整的体验。在酒吧或长桌子上衬有凳子的小餐厅，几乎所有的座位都是公共的，供凳子上衬里，菜单上散落着，菜单却很宽松，这是一种出色的现代korean小型小型小型小型小餐厅。用于分享的盘子。“带姜葱酱的豆腐”听起来像是您在二流的泛亚洲外卖菜单上可能会发现的那种令人失望的肿块，但是在这里，这意味着穿着奶油块，穿着淡淡的炸土豆淀粉的新鲜件，它们都以某种方式都是耐嚼和裂缝。一道浓密的韩国米蛋糕，被称为Ddukbokki，用甜辣的酱汁扔掉，并散发出丝状融化的奶酪，令人困惑和上瘾。与第14街以下的许多同行不同，Danji从下午5点开始进行预订。它还保持开放时间很晚 - 直到工作日的午夜和周末凌晨1点。
2.db Bistro Moderne
55 W. 44th St.，Nr。第六大道。212-391-2400
Though it reads “Midtown” loudly — situated in what is technically the lobby of a bland hotel, with the carpeting to prove it — this outpost of Daniel Boulud’s empire is surprisingly cozy and inviting, especially if you sit in the front bar room, where the Parisian touches are tasteful and charming (and the menu is the same). The $50 prix fixe, which includes both refined French bistro classics like pork rillettes and seasonal specials like orecchiette with venison ragout and roasted root vegetables, is specifically designated as pre-theater. But you could make just as snappy a meal out of what the kitchen is probably best known for:its whoppingly priced short-rib black-truffle foie-gras burger（如今，$ 35）。更好的是，另一个专业de la maison, which might be one of the best dishes in the whole city: the $18 escargot fricassee “Olivier Muller,” so named after the chef who invented it. It’s an ingenious tangle of spaetzle, delicately earthy sautéed snails, crisp-skin chicken “oysters,” parsley, and sweet, meaty hazelnuts for crunch. With a glass of white wine and a selection of breads served in a sterling-silver cup lined with butcher paper, it makes a light and affordable supper.
3.Szechuan Gourmet
21 W. 39th St.，Nr。第五大道；212-921-0233
It may seem like a fluke that there’s a great Sichuan restaurant in Midtown; in fact there are一些,但是这一个,群锚,会发生be the best. In the afternoon it can be a zoo, packed with office workers breaking up the monotony of the workday with strong doses of chili oil, but in the evening it tends to clear out and calm down, making it easy to get a table. The service is speedy any time of day, and you can be in and out of the modest but white-tablecloth dining room in an hour, having feasted from a menu that will please the widest spectrum of eaters. For the boldly adventurous: ox tongue with tripe and fish filets with pig’s head jello. For the General Tso’s crowd: top-notch versions of American-Chinese standards like scallion pancakes and sliced chicken with baby eggplant. And for anyone in between, a bounty of tantalizing Sichuan classics, from cold diced rabbit with peanuts and spicy cucumber salad to stir-fried shredded potato with hot peppers and a mean, luscious mapo tofu.
4.Chez Napoleon
365 W. 50th St., nr. Ninth Ave.; 212-265-6980
There are plenty of old-school French restaurants in the area, but the proprietors of this one seem to have the lowest tolerance for bullshit, which is a stance that they’ve earned: The place has been serving unpretentious, plainly delicious, rustically classic French cooking since 1960 and doesn’t miss a beat. There are cold leeks drizzled in the house vinaigrette (which can be purchased at $8 a bottle), foie gras served with a glass of chilled Sauternes, a hearty beef bourguignon, a delicate filet de sole meunière that comes with two orbs of unseasoned boiled potato. Reservations are accepted — recommended, in fact — and the prix fixe is just $34. Be warned, however, that if you want to finish your meal with one of the signature, majestic soufflés (Grand Marnier, chocolate, lemon, vanilla, or coffee), you must order it as soon as you arrive — and at $25 it costs almost as much as dinner.
5.Orso
322 W. 46th St., nr. Eighth Ave.; 212-489-7212
诺拉·埃弗隆（Nora Ephron）迷住的任何人都会明白为什么她对街对面的剧院乔伊·艾伦（Joe Allen）的姐妹餐厅如此迷恋。她曾经写道：“我对一个完美的夜晚的想法是在奥尔索（Orso）的一场好戏和晚餐。”外部毫不张开，但是亲密的餐厅是纽约最舒适的餐厅之一，在门厅的腮红粉红色大理石地板上反射了温暖的光，餐厅的金发碧眼的镶木室，还有金色的墙壁，悬挂在良好的金色墙壁上。艺术。无论您是一个人还是被父母带到剧院，这是一个成人的地方。而且感觉真是意大利语，不仅是因为食物有多简单明了，而且是硬皮，柔软的面包，并免费的白豆蘸酱；与肉酱和碎的帕尔玛干酪完美的Al Dente Rigatoni；用烤土豆烤羊排（全部都在美丽的彩绘陶土餐具上） - 但这也是因为它不是一个名人聚集的地方，但它并不是太认真了。您会感觉到，异常善良且有能力的工作人员（其中许多人都从事职业生涯）以前已经看过这一切。
Honorable Mentions
贝科
355 W. 46th St.，Nr。第九大道；212-397-7597
听起来可能是低调的，即获得三种无限意大利面的“交响曲”的想法（由每个供应者提供大碗的服务员）加上开胃菜（凯撒沙拉或antipasto misto的选择），只需24.95美元）。但是在Lidia和Joe Bastianich的一家热闹的餐厅Becco，它设法令人愉悦，有趣和快速。意大利面是简单的经典作品 - Fusilli Bolognese，蘑菇馄饨，Pappardelle番茄和罗勒 - 和传统主义者有点菜菜单。
Casellula
401 W. 52nd St., nr. Ninth Ave.; 212-247-8137
与Danji一样，Casellula在中城，甚至在纽约都感到不合时宜：它具有质朴的氛围，没有任何自我意识的迹象，所有裸露的砖和木头，木头和明亮，通风的平静，就像凉爽的咖啡馆一样在一个昏昏欲睡的大学小镇。一个美丽的玻璃盒显示出令人印象深刻的奶酪，这是这里的主要景点，配有咖喱菜，红葡萄酒，红葡萄干或芝麻·杜利（Curry-Cashew）的创意伴奏。自然，从芥末酱到Mac和奶酪，还有一个出色的酒单和其他快速而优雅的饮食菜单。
唐·安东尼奥
309 W. 50th St., nr. Eighth Ave; 646-719-1043
喜欢atKesté，与唐·安东尼奥（Don Antonio）共享所有者的市中心，这里的气氛留下了一些不足之处的氛围 - 空间比理想的更黑，更狭窄。但也像在Kesté一样，从烤箱里又热又快速的那不勒斯披萨是真正的交易。唐·安东尼奥（Don Antonio）的共同所有人是那不勒斯最受欢迎的比萨店之一的所有人，尤其是用轻轻炸的面团和熏制的芝士奶酪制成的品种而闻名。
esca
402 W. 43rd St., nr. Ninth Ave.; 212-564-7272
You’d do better not to rush a meal at this Batali-Bastianich stalwart, one of纽约绝对最好的高档海鲜餐厅, where partner Dave Pasternack’s menu is lengthy and full of exciting, unusual, and sustainable delicacies, from halibut crudo in sunflower oil to razor clams in spicy pumpkin broth to hearty lionfish ragout. That said, the staff are absolute pros at getting you in and out in timely fashion.
The Bar at Gabriel Kreuther
41 W. 42nd St., nr. Sixth Ave.; 212-257-5826
Gabriel Kreuther, with its four-course prix-fixe menu and $90 caviar supplements, feels like a restaurant for leisurely fine dining. But the bar area — although it slightly resembles a very luxurious airport lounge — is a great place to more quickly and less expensively enjoy refined versions of Alsatian specialties, like a plump country sausage stuffed with Comté cheese and served with warm sauerkraut and lavender-scented mustard, or one of Kreuther’s signature tarte flambées. And the top-notch servers, game to the theater ritual, will thoughtfully ask if you have any time constraints and happily oblige your exact specifications.
Joe Allen
326 W. 46th St.，Nr。第九大道；212-581-6464
乔·艾伦（Joe Allen）直接对面，乔·艾伦（Joe Allen）并不那么热情，菜单有点笨拙：肉饼和烤鸡肉以及一些三心二意的民族选择，例如鳄梨鳄梨酱和泰国素食主义者炖菜。但是，它仍然具有广泛的标志性，其画廊是百老汇 - 弗洛普海报，僵硬的饮料和良好的汉堡。当您在铁上奔跑时，甚至还有一道菠菜和土豆泥的demi玻璃小牛的肝脏盘，或者/或想感觉像1950年。
Sardi’s
234 W. 44th St.，Nr。第八大道。212-221-8440
Sardi’s may be a bit dusty these days, but what it lacks in glamour it makes up for with a heady sense of history and romance. A person could spend hours gazing at the caricatures that line the walls, or at the besuited servers as they prepare very decent Caesar salads tableside. Order the solid club sandwich to share with your date, and they’ll thoughtfully split it — plus the enormous pile of fries that comes with it — onto two plates. Upstairs at the bar, a penniless hopeful can still make a meal out of Ritz crackers with a pot of cheese (those are no longer free, but just $3 gets you a generous amount) and even catch a glimpse of a star of screen and stage; the great Laurie Metcalf sipped a drink nearly unnoticed just the other night.
Sushi of Gari 46
347 W. 46th St., nr. Ninth Ave.; 212-957-0046
Is there any meal more naturally speedy and elegant than sushi? This small branch of the Upper East Side original is only slightly nicer-looking than your average neighborhood sushi spot, but start with a seaweed salad and you’ll realize immediately that the ante is much higher here: Rather than the usual slimy, neon-green scoop, you’ll get a delicate, frilly tangle, served with a side of creamy onion dressing for seasoning to taste. The fish itself, super fresh and beautifully prepared, is good enough to completely spoil you on your neighborhood sushi spot.
