I think you%26#39;re going to limit yourself by such a specific street. If your going for pre-theatre then you can really expand choices.

So, if you can walk just a little, on the other side of broadway on 46th street (The Theater District%26#39;s Restaurant Row) is Becco, a Northern Italian.

I%26#39;m not trying to be smug, but as new Yorker I tend to avoid this area of the city; however, I will always venture in if it%26#39;s a chance to go to Becco.

A lot of pre-theater places are food mills. Becco is a very good, not too expensive restaurant that just happens to be in the theatre district.

Also, if you%26#39;re up for good BBQ, I tell you to head to Virgils on 44th between 6th/7th and have the texas wings and a pulled pork sandwich. It%26#39;s BBQ, it%26#39;s loud and it get%26#39;s packed, but it is GOOD!

Bond 45, tasty Italian food with a nice atmosphere, located on 45th between 5th and 6th Avenues. It%26#39;s a large restaurant so it should be able to accommodate you. Hope that helps! Moms

How about Cafe Un Deux Trois? @ 123 West 44th St. Reasonable and decent pre-theatre prix fixe, but if they are truly ';foodies';, they might scoff.

I can also vouch for Dervish. Good eats.

I%26#39;d go with Bond 45 too. Just watch the time, as I%26#39;ve had to fight those guys for a check so I can get to the theater in time.

If you can%26#39;t get a reservation, you might try and get into one of the big family places in the area, like John%26#39;s Pizzeria, Ollie%26#39;s Noodles, or Virgil%26#39;s BBQ. (Forget even trying Carmine%26#39;s!!!)

No No to John%26#39;s... two times and two horrible experiences. The real John%26#39;s downtown is exceptional but the one in Time Square gives John%26#39;s a bad name! and it%26#39;s too bad because it truly is the best Pizza in town.

Tintol is a Spanish tapas place ideal for a larger group on 46th b/e 6th %26amp; 7th.

Via Brasil on 46th b/e 5th %26amp; 6th is an under the radar place that%26#39;s very good.

I was very pleased with my first meal, a pre-theatre dinner last weekend, at Kellari Taverna, 19 West 44th between 5th and 6th. Despite the fact that I walk down that block from time to time, I had never noticed it. A friend recommended it. I had a vision of a typcial neighborhood Greek place, but this was a very sleek and polished Greek/Med bistro. It may not be within your budget, as I wouldn%26#39;t consider it a budget place. However, by eating just appetizers or a main course, but not both, it would meet my definition of reasonable. You can check the menu and read reviews on menupages.
