Uh oh midtown dinner?

[Katie Meadow]

Any good ideas for dinner near 6th Ave and 43rd St? Family party of about 6 or 7 after an evening gallery preview, some elderly, not looking for too exotic or spicy or too noisy. Italian would work or perhaps brasserie type old school. I know it's a toughie.

Esca.

Bistro Benoit.

You're in the pre-theatre range for time and area so make your reservation soon.

weinoo's suggestions are good ones. Sushi Zen is around there too.

Actually I believe the dinner will be on the later side, so we won't have to deal w the pre-theater crowd. The suggestions are great but I am not sure Esca and Benoit are within price range for this group. Any ideas for a bit more modest? Entrees under $25 perhaps?

Becco?

Head south a few blocks and eat Korean?

Entrees under $25 and non-exotic is going to be tough right there. If you travel a bit... Chez Napoléon on W. 50 between 8th and 9th is a time-travel French bistro that would fit the bill.

Two good suggestions, Becco and Napoleon. Never been to Napoleon, sounds like it could be fun. Thanks. If you think of anything else lemme know!

I usually take unadventurous Midtown visitors to Marseille.
