I'm so excited about returning to NYC next week. Any recommendations for great pre-theatre restaurants around Times Square? Student budget recommended!

If you're going for portions and you're travelling with others, I'd recommend Carmine's on...44th? (I believe it's across from the Majestic.) The quality's not too bad (actually quite good) and they serve "family portions" so you can easily share with another person or two, or pack it up for a couple of meals!

for chinese i recommend ollies. It is graeat and fast.

I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

My friends and I are entertaining the idea of going to Sardi's...
Me, I'd love to visit the Carnegie Deli again. Haven't been in so long!
Where is Ollies, Zip?

Is price your only consideration or is there a certain type of food you are looking for?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I think Ollie's is around 43rd and Broadway if I'm not mistaken. (I know you can see it from the middle of Times Square.) It's not too bad, but BlueWiz, you're from Toronto, so the Chinese food must be better and cheaper!
How are the prices at the Carnegie? Sardi's would be a blast, and I took a look at the menu a while back and recall that the food wasn't heinously expensive, especially considering other high-high end restaurants like Le Cirque! (Which is definitely an option if you like to splurge!)
I also hear the Hotel Edison has a great cafe.

I believe it is next to carmines. It is reallly good fast food!

IF you're looking for good Chinese, BlueWiz, there's Joe's Shanghai on 46th(?). (Rath, you glut, am I right?) Pretty inexpensive, and they have the best soupy dumplings in the world.

I'm googling away. I don't remember if it was Joe's Shanghai or John's Shanghai that I ate at. Perhaps it was John's. 46th Street. It was Zagat rated and has very narrow with limited seats, on the south side of the street, with blue neon lighting at the front? John's Shanghai

I'm usually skeptical about Applebee's but there's a recent thread of devotees to the place in NYC, so you might want to check it out too.
And I'm a fan of Gramercy Tavern (and they have two prix fixe lunch menus), which is in...Gramercy. I also ate at Joe Allen's on 46th, which was pretty good.

JRB- It appears that your icon is wilting a bit. Is there anything I can do to assist?
