Maritza Spitler: feels like home. The food is spectacular too! Must have the veggie dish.
BET: One of the oldest and most noteworthy Jazz clubs in NY. In honor of Black History, see these excellent examples of African-Americans' accomplishments in Music: http://bet.us/BHM
The Corcoran Group: One of the best places to enjoy live music enjoy Cajun food in the city. There is a $10 food/drink minimum per person.
Elevine Berge: Delish raw vegan spirulina cake from the incredibly well stocked raw cake shelf by the juice bar at the back! With a glass of choc almond milk it was the perfect treat for a day like this 😄
Zachary Adam Cohen: Smells like hippies and amniotic fluid here. Their apple cider vinegar is fun for enemas. Watch out for blind gypsys. They steal ur wallet.
BluePrint: Standing ovation for Westerly Natural Market's convenient location and abundance of healthy treats. We love stopping in for a refreshing pre- or post- theatre BluePrintJuice!

Lounge · Hell's Kitchen · 61 tips and reviews
Trae F: Great spot off the beaten path for cocktails and snacks. Small plates so order a bunch to share.
The New Yorker: “Bar Centrale is almost ostentatious in its understatement. The black-and-white photographs on the walls are of Joe’s friends, & musicians he likes. Until recently, there wasn’t even a cocktail list.” Read more.
Bravo: Professional Broadway's house speakeasy. - Andy Cohen, Watch What Happens Live!

Ian Kwok: $25 prix fixe is a steal. Roast duckling, scallops, and mussels are favs. Warm and friendly owners too.
ZAGAT: This Theater District French offers a bargain $25 prix fixe after 8 PM.
Serious Eats: French restaurant popular with theater-goers for their prix-fixe dinner specials.

Burger Joint · Hell's Kitchen · 449 tips and reviews
Ryan Zola: Cant go wrong with the classic 5 Napkin Burger but it can be kinda rich. Bacon cheese burger is a great plan B.
The Corcoran Group: Definitely get the Original 5 Napkin Burger. Make sure you ask for EXTRA napkins if you’re wearing anything nice. Also try the Steak Frites and The 5N Kobe Beef Foot Long Dog! This place is ALWAYS
Village Voice: We suggest the 5-Napkin Burger-the taste is great, the quantity abundant, and the onion rings we got on the side instead of fries are some of the best in town-and NYC is an onion-ring-challenged city!

Cindy Ol: Phenomenal spot for pre theater dinner. A treat. Try the seafood, Mac and cheese. Leave room for desserts.
Bravo: Where the American food looks almost as good as the waiters. -Zac Young, Top Chef Just Desserts
✨Pun Bandhu ✨: Best short ribs in Manhattan (vinaigrette reduction with black truffle oil over basil mash potatoes). Great theatre-themed cocktails, gay owned and operated.
