Post-Movie Bite in East Village?

[Macman]

My wife and I are seeing a movie in the East Village.

As relatively new parents, we've been homebound (and out of the "dining scene") lately, so we'd appreciate any suggestions for a good place to go post-movie. Ideally someplace good, relatively quick, and somewhat unique. We'll be looking to eat at 9:30 or so.

If you want ramen without the wait and fuss of Momofuku I'd recommend Minca, it's on 5th between A and B. Really good ramen and no attitude or wait (usually)

Definitely try Momofuku. If the wait is too long, you can walk down the street to Hearth.

I'm not sure you can get a seating if you just walk in at Hearth.

If no tables are available at Hearth, there is bar dining. (Note: I'm not referring to the 4 seats at the pass.)

It's not reservations-only, but yes, there is always a chance of a wait.

Gosh, the first name I think of of a uniquely great and relatively quick (except for waiting on line) meal near the Sunshine is a pastrami sandwich at Katz's!

If you're going to Sunshine, I'd head stay in the immediate area, plenty of options there. I'd suggest Schillers, Supper, Degustation, Tasting Room... Lots of options within 5 blocks.
Have a great time out & enjoy!

We're going to be down at the Sunshine theater on Houston, as it turns out - anyone have thoughts re: momofuku? I've heard good things, but am not sure if I can deal with what seems to be a mob scene.

if you like korean food, there's dosirak on 13th between broadway and university. it's a small, cute place, and one i like for village east/cinema village visits.
