Recent;y opened 5 Napkin Burger, a sibling of the popular Upper West Side bistro Nice Matin, is a welcome edition to the theater district dining scene.

Little Italian Restaurant with good food and a great $9.95 tasty price-fixed lunch and a $19.95 price-fixed pre-theater menu. Pasta here is especially delicious and salads are always fresh. The only problem is that you have to ask for the “Prix Fix” menu – otherwise they give you the regular one.
