Any good places to eat by madison square garden?

We are going in Tuesday night to see a concert! I would like to take the girls to a nice resturaunt before we go in! Any recommendations? Maybe some place local?

Re: Any good places to eat by madison square garden?

i think ppl havent answered bc honestly, all the places right around MSG arent THAT great. The closest place i can think of is Houston's, its a little bit further though.

Around MSG you'll find TGIF, houlihans and alot of places like that. If you go in the 40's closer to grand central theres more places around there

I think theres supposed to be a good steakhouse though.

I think the steakhouse is Uncle Jack's.

Re: Any good places to eat by madison square garden?

yeah i mean there is houlihans fridays etc. DH and I go before rangers games sometimes but we stopped bc everything is double the price bc of the location!

Re: Any good places to eat by madison square garden?

Actually there is a place that me and DH went to when we saw Billy Joel.
It's in the Afiina Hotel and it's called Niles. Nice place, good food and walking distance to MSG. Niles

if you like cuban food, there's havana NY on 38th between 5th & 6th. i haven't been there in a while, but the food and sangria were good.

if you like steak and don't mind spending $$, there's keens steakhouse on 36th off of 6th. it's kind of a boys club though, but the steak is good.

I agree, it's mostly chain restaurants and commuter bars around there.

Nick and Stef's Steakhouse is amazing!

Re: Any good places to eat by madison square garden?

we ALWAYS go to 'Stout' when we go to concerts. Its a really nice pub and the food is great. Lots of different beers and all that You should totally check it out.

Mustang Sally's

Re: Any good places to eat by madison square garden?

actually we have rangers season tix and there is one place we go before every single game and that is Cafe 31 which is on 31st between 7th and 8th avenue....its not fancy (more like a sports bar/restaurant) but the food is out of this world. Best crab cake you will ever eat.

I was going to say either Mustang Sally's or Mustang Harry's.

Stout -- great Irish bar/restaurant *right* by MSG.

Just walk out the main area -- you will see the Pennsylvania Hotel across the street -- and ask one of the 500 cops that stand out there where Stout is and they will point it out to you. You can literally see it from outside MSG.

HTH!

Re: Any good places to eat by madison square garden?

I '3rd' Stout !!!

Re: Any good places to eat by madison square garden?

The Molly Wee pub... on 30th and 8th... good friends of my family own it.... great people and a great little pub. Clean and not nasty like many other pubs nearby

Great food and good bar selection. it gets busy when there's Ranger games or other big events, but very reasonable for the food. Drinks are comparable to the rest of the area.
