Mid town pizza or Deli? Pre Whiskey-fest

[frites]

Baltimore Hound with last minute ticket to Whiskeyfest at Marriot Times Square. looking for a great pizza place and/or deli for a late lunch early dinner. Need a solid base down before the festivities. Also, good diner for the next morning breakfast in midtown.

Unfortunately, the best delis are not located in the Times Square area. Carnegie Deli is there, but I'm definitely not a fan.
