Excellent restaurants are scattered up and down Broadway.
Whether you're looking for a quick bite to eat before or after a Broadway show--or are seeking out a more relaxed, lengthy meal--you will be sure to find a restaurant to suit your needs on Broadway. Because of the popularity of Broadway, particularly among tourists, restaurants on the famed street tend to be slightly more expensive than comparable restaurants elsewhere in Manhattan. Expect restaurants to be especially busy before and after show times; if you plan to eat at a Broadway restaurant before or after a show, it is wise to make a reservation in advance.
Italia Mia
Located right on Broadway, between 52nd and 53rd Streets, Italia Mia patrons enjoy a low-key, traditional Italian menu. The menu consists of an extensive variety of pizzas, pastas, chicken dishes, veal dishes, sandwiches, salads and side items. Delivery and take-out services are available. Italia Mia uses only fresh ingredients in all meals. Dress is casual. Reservations are not necessary.

Russian Vodka Room
In addition to serving diners from a full menu of authentic Russian cuisine--such as Beef Stroganoff and Apple Blintzes--the Russian Vodka Room offers more than 50 different types of vodka, including many infusions that are unique to the restaurant. The drink menu also includes a variety of after-dinner drinks, including whiskey, brandy and cognac. Each Monday evening, a musical trio known as the Vodka Trio performs at the restaurant, entertaining diners with their skills on the piano, guitar and bass. The Russian Vodka Room is located on West 52nd Street, between Broadway and 8th Avenue. Dress is business casual.
