<it was so noisy I felt as though somebody was pounding spikes into my eardrums.
Ouch that hurts just thinking about it. Many city "trendy" restaurants are like that today the same is true of many places in Philly. It makes carrying on a conversation impossible you are shouting at the people across from you. I don't get it at all. I will report back on play and restaurant as well.

It is noisy, but that is true of a lot of places. I'm no gourmet or foodie, I just like decent food. I had a steak there a few months ago, with fries, and it was perfectly decent (the fries were actually very good, and I'm picky about those). With a glass of wine, that's fine by me. I think saying the food is "mediocre" sounds like it is bad, it's perfectly fine as far as I'm concerned and I've eaten there several times. I like the ambience, and prices, and convenience.
But I suppose you wouldn't go there for some cosmic meal or as a special dining experience, I agree, but when I'm in that area, it is mainly for the theater and as long as the food is not bad, I'm happy. I've had a lot worse in NYC and elsewhere, as I said, I've never had anything bad there.

We ate at Un Deux Trois maybe 10, 15 yrs. ago. We always walk past it when we're in NYC and it seems to not have changed AT ALL. It was nothing special then, or apparently now! There are dozens of small restaurants up and down 9th Ave. in the theatre district. Every type of food you can imagine. I'd find somewhere that you like the menu & prices and if it's meal time and there are people there, it's probably good. If it's empty, move on to the next place that interests you. It's 1 meal. Find your own special place! Mine is at the corner of 44th & 9th, it's an Italian place that used to be a Comedy club. I wish I could remember the name!

I like Vice Versa-good food and charming atmosphere.
Aureole is excellent and only a few blocks away
If you are arriving into penn station you may wantto catch the subway right there.it is only one stop to the T District

Cindymal, I know nothing about the subway system. I am sure that would be a disaster! How far is the walk to the theater district if it it is only one stop away via subway? I know we took the cab once from a starbucks right across from rockefeller center and it was only $5.00.

It depends on where you're going. The theater district stretches from 42nd St. all the way up to 53rd. So it's between 10 and 20 minutes for me depending on where I'm going. If you are a slow walker, then it's more.

Expensive- Lucien.
MaiTai ate there last visit and enjoyed it.
Inexpensive-Casimir
It is located on Ave B. I have only seen one visitor report that she ate there, it is a neighborhood haunt.

News Flash: There is a new restaurant in the area that is attracting streams of the local food-obsessed; owners have great pizza credentials from Keste. I plan to check it out soon as the first reports have been great:

Ate at E&E Grill House (across from Eugene O'Neill theater) last week and it was very very good. Casual and modern atmosphere, great service, astonishingly good food, good (not extensive but nice variety and prices)wine list, good cocktails. So hard to get all of that right in the theater district for some reason, but E&E did it.
