Late dinner near Madison Square Gardens

[elgordo]

Will be in Manhattan for a short vacation. Going to see the Nicks on 11th October. No time for food before. Any recommendations for decent food after the game?

I'd try one of the bevy of Korean places on 35th just east of Herlad Square ...my fav is Han Bat and it's open 24 hours ...

Ditto for the votes in Ktown. My recommendation is Seoul Garden for their galbi, jap chae, and soon du bu.

Kom Tang Soot (it has various other names as well, but this one works), which is located at 32 W 32nd Street (212-947-9482). KTS, as I will now call it, has a charcoal bar-b-que and is open 24/7. We often go there after the Rangers. The Knicks, well they have their own problems!!! Its my current fave on 32nd Street. Keane's is good, but in my opinion there is better steak elsewhere. But its a great place to sit as opposed to Korean, which can feel a bit rushed if you don't hold your ground.

[Blumie]

Stevie Nicks? ; )

Keens is open til 10:30, so you probably can get in after the game (which usually ends before 10). I recommend eating in the pub room, where you can order from either the regular menu or the more casual pub menu.

I go to one of 3 places when I am at MSG. If I want a heavy meal I go to Keen's Chop House (best leg of mutton in town) for good steaks and chops (36 between 6th & 5th). Otherwise I go to Koreatown and go to KangSuh (on 32d just east of Broadway on south side of street) or WanJo (same block of 32d - betw Bway and 5th on north side of street). Both Korean joints are open 24/7 and have bbq grills built into the tables.

Just to note that Keens' signature mutton chop is actually lamb.

When I go to the garden I usually take the opportunity to eat in Koreatown (32nd street, just east of the Garden). Many Korean restaurants to choose from but I can't recommend one yet as I'm still experimenting myself.

[ballulah]

I was just about to throw in my two cents about Koreatown and 32nd Street. Kum Gang San is excellent, and it's open 24 hours. It's the first restaurant on 32nd east of 6th Ave on the north side of the street. Kun Jip is closer to 5th Ave on the same side of the street, but Kum Gang San has the glorious kitschy two story rock face with a waterfall and a baby grand.

Stout is also very good for the area. Great bar food. Nothing fancy, but a very decent burger and a nice selection of craft beers.

[raji212]

There's a Stage Delicatessan, that's not bad...

If I were you, I'd hike it to Izakaya Ten, Tia Pol, or other places in Chelsea that will be open late...

[RGR]

I've heard good things about Tir Na Nog, an Irish pub, very near the Garden, on 8th & 33rd. Open until 4 a.m.

Tir Na Nog is my favorite for bar food... I talk about it a lot.
But... they stop serving food at 10pm usually.

[RGR]

As I said, I've never been, so thanks for that important info, doona. :-)

[doona]

I thought you've been to every restaurant in New York RGR!! :-) You should go get yourself some of the best chicken wings there.

[RGR]

Actually, doona, we've hardly scratched the proverbial surface. :-( lol As the expression goes: So many restaurants, so little time!

P.S. I don't drink, so you won't usually find Irish pubs on my "go to" list. Molly's is in our nabe, so we do go there once in a while. But that's only for the great burger.

[JungMann]

I don't know who's been spreading the rumors of good things at Tir Na Nog, but they're wildly exagerrated. Tir Na Nog is nothing to write home about: it's a run of the mill Irish pub catering to the older business crowd that commutes in-and-out of Penn Station. If that's what the OP wants, that's fine, but it's certainly not this great hangout people seem to think it is. There's also a new gastropub that opened in the area, but I can't recall the name right now.
