Light meal near 60th and 3rd
We're going to the National Theatre production of Phedre, which is being shown at City Cinema123. Is there a sit-down place within a few blocks of the theater for a tasty and pleasant light meal before the show? Any cuisine is OK, price under $30 (including tax and tip) for a plate of food and coffee--a salad or soup would be nice but not essential.

Or Chula on 57 between lex and 3rd. It's a buffet, the food is very good, but be willing to eat. When I first ate there I was hungry so I filled my plate pretty good and when I returned to my seat I found the table full of plates. The waiter had taken food from the kitchen and put it on the table, and that continues throughout the meal. Note: The foodis better closer to 11:30 naturally.

Our place Shanghi Tea Garden on 55 bet. Les and third (www.ourplace-teagarden.com.) Is the spot!! The food is always executed well; hot, seasoned and diverse. I recommend the soup dumplings!! It has great ambiance and the service is full pro and they are fast. These guys have been doing this for a long time. They actually serve you your fried rice and make your pancakes in front of you for both the Peeking duck and moo shoo platters, I recommend both. I think other restaurants need to take note. I never spend over $20 for lunch.

Well, there is one of the Patsy's chains on the same corner as the theatre on 60th and 3rd, which is OK for a quick salad and a pizza. Accademia Vino (or something like that) is on 64th and 3rd and I think has gotten decent reviews on this board, but I have not been there. There are also a few good places on First Ave - Felice, Cipolla Rossa, Maya (not sure if they have lunch).

re: mch
sip sak is a fantastic suggestion. a non-sit down place like pampano taqueria might also work for you. i don't think they have coffee, but the food is excellent. it's sort of fun and romantic to find a deserted bench somewhere to eat.
