Early dinner nr. World Financial center

We're planning to go to a concert tonight originally scheduled for Rockefeller Park, but considering the weather, I think it will probably be in the Winter Garden (WFC). We'd like to eat in a not expensive (about $25. pp) restaurant nearby, either ethnic (Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Italian, Middle Eastern) or American. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    Perhaps, the new FiDi location of Luke's Lobster?

      Thanks for the suggestions; I will make a note of them for future reference. In the meantime, my friends decided they want to go to Baluchi's on Greenwich. (They have some sort of discount they can use there.) I think that should be OK.

        P.S. Just wondering-- does Luke's have normal tables and chairs? We are not youngsters and don't like sitting on stools. On the other hand, I love fresh lobster!

          I haven't been to the Luke's in the FiDi, so you'd have to call and ask.

          Luke's flagship in the E. Village is tiny and has only counter seating with just 6 stools. The UES location is much bigger. When we were there last year, there was a communal table with chairs and one large booth.
