after theatre dining
We saw Wicked , and after the show we were starving, so we ducked in off the street into Bobby Van's on W 50th...right down W 50th a block or two from Radio City Music Hall, which was also on the way home from Wicked, if returning to Times Sq. area.
Bobby Van's was amazing, and the food and service was perfect..... in fact my two upper teenage kids said it was "the perfect meal". I agree. It is definitely on the pricey side, BUT it was one of the best memories we have of NYC. My steak was awesome, one of the very best ever, and we were surrounded by waiters who did things non-stop for us the whole meal.....they were seen but not heard, so to speak.....again, perfect.
I have also read some less-than-wonderful reviews on Bobby Van's, but I was shocked, as i don't know what could have happened. The wait staff is experienced and knowledgeable, and they never missed a beat. The menu is fantastic.
There is also a cozy bar attached, just as you walk in, and it was packed....everybody laughing and socializing....looked just like a scene on TV....and the place is very attractive....lots of dark wood, beautiful lighting and ambiance. We'll definitely go back asap.
Also recommend Carnegie Deli, as someone else did.....all the delis are good, but just be expecting a crowd, a long wait, a lot of conversation and noise once inside, and very little space. It's NYC, so just soak it in and have fun...if you do that, it's amazing...the food is definitely amazing. Marty (jme)
