Where to eat before a show downtown

Four places within walking distance of the theater district, none of which will make you late.

Curtain times downtown tend to cluster around 7:30, which leaves a narrow window for dinner. These four manage it.

Portions are generous at most of them, so if you are heading straight into a two-hour show, consider splitting something.

Reservations are worth making on weekends, particularly during festival season when the whole district fills up at once.
