Planning your meal around showtime

Because the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre operates on fixed curtain times, it helps to work backward from your ticketed start time when choosing where to eat. The options listed here range from about 38 to 180 meters away, so walking time is typically just a few minutes, but you should still allow for busy sidewalks around Times Square. Menus, hours, and any reservation systems are managed by each restaurant or bar, and they can change, so confirm details directly with the venue you pick. If you prefer to compare more than one spot, consider pairing a very close choice like Bond 45 or The View Restaurant & Lounge with a slightly farther option such as Junior's or Trattoria Trecolori, then decide based on what fits your schedule that day.
