Food before Chinglish
We are going to see Chinglish this Saturday night and thought
Chinese dinner before would be a nice thematic touch.
Any Chinese restaurant recommendations, in or near the theater district (though not
Sezchuan)?
You hounds have all been so helpful in the past.
Many thanks!

I saw Chinglish a few weeks ago with some co-workers... it was hysterical! Spot-on characterizations.
Our pre-theater meal consisted of beer and wings at Social on 48th and 8th, just a block from the theater. I know it isn't a Chinese meal, but somehow it was very fitting.
Enjoy the play... if you've ever done business in China, you will love it.-----

How about Hunan food? Hunan Manor gets good reviews here:

How about La Caridad on the UWS 78/Bway-Chinese run by waiters who speak Chinese and English as well as Spanish! Keep the theme going all night long!! Easy subway ride down to theater district after. And altho a hole in the wall sort of place, I love the food!!
