And Ginny and Elmoore, shall we have swedish meatballs prior to attending CURTAINS on saturday night? (that is presuming I get my house seat from Rupurt Holmes).
Of course even if I don't get a seat for the show I am still able to eat swedish meatballs with you all.
Should I contact my source for a house seat for you?
As for Swedish meatballs... I like the mini-chain,
Smorgas Chef - which is the other place that DR Ben recommended, I believe. The don't have a location in Hell's Kitchen, but there's on the East Side at 2nd and 49th, plus one down in the Village. Easy cab rides to the theatre.
However,
F & B - European Güdtfood, also has some decent Swedish meatballs - as well as some other goodies. They're down in Chelsea on 23rd - right next to
Burgers & Cupcakes, as well as on the East Side too on 52nd Street.
Of course, if you'd like some other recommendations for places in the Theatre District, just ask.
*I highly recommend the very no frills, walk-up window on 45th - right down the street from
Curtains called "Piece of Chicken". Besides, pieces of chicken ($1.00 a piece), they also sell pieces of fried whiting, ribs, chicken livers (with or without gravy), collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and a couple of other items. And everything this priced at $1.00 or $2.00 - with a few items priced higher depending what's available that day. It's literally part of the kitchen of
Jezebel which is a semi-upscale Southern/Cajun restaurant. It's all the same food that's served in the restaurant, but without all the ambience - and the higher prices. (Although, it looks like they've opened up the decor of Jezebel lately. It used to be all red velvet and gold, sort of a like a bordello (on purpose)). All the food is served in those styrofoam food trays with plastic spoons, forks and knives. And it's become quite popular with the "show people" in the neighborhood since it's fast and cheap and very good.
