Weekend line up, thoughts

My Husband and I have promised ourselves to go to NYC quarterly for theater and great food . Last trip in January we very much enjoyed the dining room at The Modern for dinner Kin Shop for lunch.dinner at Forgione , our ritual Sunday before we go back to Boston lunch/brunch at Otto and had a terrible experience at a late dinner at Picholine. We are returning late April and my line up is 1) late dinner after theater at The Modern 2) lunch at Ma Peche 3) dinner at Bouley and 4)our ritual at the bar at Otto with hopefully Dennis tending. My questions are regarding Ma Peche as a good choice for a light lunch on Sat before a matinee. And any thoughts re an alternative to The Modern? we liked it a lot the first visit but we aren't against trying something new.I think we are limited as we are midtown and need a late(10:30) reservation. We do want high end. Thanks in advance. I have been the grateful recipient of your knowledge for many years .

    Ma Peche is a great choice for pre-theatre lunch. You might want to take a look at their current menu on-line at the Momofuku website. The lunch fare is more casual and not as extensive than their dinner menu. I believe they still offer a $25 3 course prix-fixe lunch (and you get a choice of either a corn or chocolate cookie from the Milk Bar as dessert).

      Recently had lunch at Bouley and it was excellent. Dont miss out on the egg dish. One of the best dishes I have had in NYC this year.
