Sunday brunch around theater dist/Hell's Kitchen?

[nattie23nyc]

In-laws coming in from Philly to meet friends in town from Arizona for brunch in a couple of weeks before going to a show. I'm sure they want good to great food, but don't want to break the bank (I'm thinking Norma's may be a little pricy, and I think I remember seeing on this board that it's not all it's cracked up to be anyway). Looking my Zagat I saw Pietrasanta recommended, but their website doesn't indicate that they have a brunch menu, just the regular salads/pastas/entrees. Also thought of the Sarabeth's on CPS, but that may be an overpriced experience as well. Suggestions? Thanks!

Im not a fan of pietrasanta or Thalia--I think both have mediocre food. My favorite brunch spot in the theater area is Marseille.

Thalia in the theatre district is quite popular. Not fancy, outdoor tables
in good weather albeit is on 8th ave but price is very reasonable.
