where to eat in NYC when you see the broadway show Wicked?

Answer 1

"Wicked" is at the Gershwin Theatre on 51st Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue. The restaurant, Costa Del Sol, is on the corner of 50th Street and Ninth Avenue.
If you like Spanish food (from Spain, not Mexico - it's an entirely different cuisine), Costa del Sol is wonderful - for $25, you get a complete dinner with a ton of choices - AND IT's GOOD! You get a choice of soup or salad - (I never order salad when there's another choice, so I can't comment). My favorite soup is the Caldo Gallego - from Galecia Spain - a delicious hearty soup with bacon, chorizo sausage, white beans, kale and other vegetables; you can also order the cold gazpacho or a chicken soup with noodles. You have a choice of more than twenty entrees - at least six different shrimp dishes - my favorites are the very lightly floured shrimp with wine sauce and the garlic shrimp - HUGE portions. You can also order salmon, paella, a whole lobster with butter sauce, various chicken dishes, mixed seafoods, veal., pork chops. These come with saffron rice and string beans - large platters on the table for everyone. You also get dessert and coffee - the cheesecake is good, but you can have flan or rice pudding or icecream. As if all this food weren't enough of a bargain, if two of you order this three course dinner, you can get a bottle of red or white wine for only $6 more ($3 each)

West 46th Street between 8th and 8th Avenue (very close to Times Square) has so many restaurants, the block is known as "Restaurant Row". There are at least five Italian restaurants.
One I highly recommend is Becco - it's owned by the tv chef and cookbook author, Lidia Bastianich and her son. They serve a special lunch for about $18 -the dinner is about $25 -three pastas (they change every day) - all you can eat and a delicious appetizer of either a Caesar salad or a platter of mixed seafood with grilled vegetables. It gets crowded - you should make a reservation.

Pomaire is one of my favorites - it's New York's only Chilean restaurant - excellent fresh fish, wonderful bread, charming waiters and a great wine cellar.

Brazil, Brazil - a really fun place - you have different options - cold salad bar about $10, cold salad bar and hot buffet about $14 and salad bar, hot buffet and MEATS - about $18. If you get the all you can eat meat, the waiters come by with huge skewers of steak, roasts, chickens, spare ribs - if you want some, you turn the flag to green, if you don't want it or are taking a rest, you turn your flag to red. You can also order something a la carte here. Desserts and beverages are not included in the price.

There is a bar, the Joshua Tree, that serves a very good lobster with baked potato and corn for $15. Nice gooey desserts and delightful Irish waitresses.

The one restaurant on this block that I strongly advise you to keep away from is Broadway Joe's. You will find very few people who will eat there a second time. What is the point of those long, useless copy and paste jobs from people who never ate at any of those restaurants - they've probably never been to New York. It doesn't bother them at all to advise you to go to a bad restaurant. While Bouley is an excellent restaurant, no one who is familiar with the geography of New York would ever recommend that you go there before the theatre - first of all, you are not meant to wolf down a meal there in an hour and second of all, it is so far from the theatre - it could take more than a half hour by taxi from Bouley to the theatre.

Answer 2

Don't care for Broadway Joe's, but definitely would recommend Ruby Foos. Nice place and good food. You will absolutely love the play, Wicked. It is the greatest.

Answer 3

On Broadway right next to Mamma Mia, there is a really nice dinner right next door. The waitors sing for you and you can sing a long, and its not expanssive.
