help

Sorry -- I don't think there are any restaurants in the West 40s.

very funny.... i found in ny magazine 5 napkin burger which is good for 8 year old twins.

Virgils BBQ is close by.

Or free hot dogs at Rudy's.

John's Pizza is on the same block as the exhibit.

you guys never fail me..thanks

You're welcome. You do know I am joking about Rudy's right?

I second John's. Also Carmine's (italian, big portions), Vynl (diner).
There's also a bunch of stuff on 9th in high 40s/50s.

as long as they have a bar for me we'll be fine..

Julia,

My favorite, reasonably-priced restaurant in the theater district (9th and 43rd Street) is Zuni. Interesting, delicious, different new American cuisine. Good-sized portions. Reservations a must in the evening. It's a New Yorker restaurant - off the tourist track. Check it out:

Topper...their website looks wonderful

I like Bond 45. Fresh Mozzarella sampler thingy? Yum. I tookmy 17 yr old unadventurous nephew there and they happily obliged preparing "plain spaghetti" and marinara for him.

Bond 45 sounds great but with 8 year old twins i don't think i can handle the mess of marinara on them. Everyone is giving great ideas for me to go to these restaurants without the twins.

If you like thai - there are a ton of great thai places in that hood on 9th avenue.

becco, 355 W 46.

Love Virgils!
