Heading to NY in November with my wife to see Kinky Boots. I am pretty sure we want to eat in the 530 time frame for an 8pm show as opposed to eating later then 10pm. Esca comes to mind as close by to both the show and our hotel. Any other recommendations would be appreciated before I jump on reservation next week (30 days in advance). I've ruled out Craft and Grammercy Tavern as we really want to be in walking distance and close by show if possible.
Recs for Sunday Brunch would be great as well. We'll probably walk the Highline and willing to go fairly far for a good brunch.
