Why not? |

| The Modern at MOMA. Really excellent, low-key/trendy for a high end restaurant, and fun location (inside MOMA). It's a few blocks from the theater district but we did it pre-theatre and it worked out great. |

I'm sad that Ruby Foo's closed. That was often our pre-theatre choice.

| For a 16 year old? If she likes bacon, Bar Bacon is in walking distance and really fun--trendy but casual, lots of good food ranging from traditional and familiar to more experimentall, etc. Took a 14 year old there for a pre-theater dinner and a good time was had by all. |

| Thalia - short walk to the theaters, and really great food, fun atmosphere & they do a great little birthday dessert! |

What's wrong with The View? We were thinking of going also.

| Take her to afternoon tea at the St. Regis. It's awesome. |

| Sorry - hit send too soon. After the St. Regis tea, do your broadway show. Then, after the show go for a slice somewhere. |

NP here. Not sure about the hate. We took my daughter her for her 13th birthday and she loved it. We did too. Very unique experience. |

The naysayer is probably just thinking of it as a tourist trap and that there are way better places blah blah... The thing is, if you're being a tourist, sometimes you gotta hit the tourist traps at least once in your life! |

When I lived in NYC, a million years ago, I went on a couple of drink dates at the rotating bar there. It was fun! We did it sort of ironically, but had a good time. |

Did you go during the day or night? Wonder if that experience makes a difference. The show starts at 7, so it would still be daylight when we go. |

| I had some European friends who just went to The View for a drink and had a really good time. |
