Stout, the pre-party bar, has good food (burgers, chicken fingers, the usual bar food) but it's gonna be crowded and it's not so cheap .

you can also check Brother Jimmys for great BBQ, but get ready to pay a lot more

that's twice you mentioned expensive. there'll be plenty of cheap eats in Columbus.

I would suggest Ben's Kosher Deli at 209 W 38th Street or of course the Carnagie Deli at 854 7th Ave at 55th St (a bit further away)

Enjoy!!

I also mentioned McDonalds twice

As people can read, there are a gazilion places around MSG. It's all a matter of taste at the end. There are great suggestions in here and you can also expand your options by searching online by type of cuisine / neighbourhood etc.

Enjoy the city

Katz Deli Its the best in the world

rssesq

but if your down in So Ho forget Katz and bounce a few blocks over to little italy and go to Lombardi's (the first pizza parlor in america)for some of the best pizza around outside of new haven, CT

I personally prefer Grimaldi's but Brooklyn aint for everyone.

then I'd suggest Ferrara's Bakery, the first pastry shop in the new world, for a tiramisu or cannoli and a double expresso.

then your ready for a night of pearl jam in NYC

LOCATED RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE BACK OF MSG. Stop and grab a poster and sit in the window laughing at all the poor bastards that salivate over your poster and incredible meat companion!


Cheap- Awesome- Fast- Did I mention AWESOME!!!!

#2 BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS ARE AMAZING!

THEY ALSO HAD A GUACAMOLE/JALAPENO BURGER LAST TIME THAT MADE ME CRY IN MY FRIES- WHICH WERE ALSO AMAZING!!!!!!!

Then go to brother Jimmys next door and slam a few Pabst Pounders. Im a beer snob - but just trust me- I bet $50 youll havea Pabst pounder by the time you leave there.

C you all there N1 AND N2!!!!

winner.

perfect pre-concert food. their buffalo burger is ridiculous.

I once ate at Tick Tock Diner on 34th and 8th, they had good burgers.

Its a block from MSG on the corner of 8th Ave. and W 34th St. They have great diner food, I went there after the Muse show last month and had a huge breakfast, it really hit the spot.

Planning on eating here with my friend after MSG II! Glad to hear the food's good!



Oh- and how 'bout that Muse show? I attended as well-incredible

All quite enjoyable, but the 2nd Avenue Deli (no longer on 2nd Avenue ) brings everyone at the table a free mini-egg cream with the check! http://www.2ndavedeli.com/

It was an excellent show! I enjoyed it a lot!

And I am sure I will most likely have a meal at the tick toc at some point on 5/21 or 5/22. I think I was actually there before the Muse show too

to the op-

if you want polish food, you're gonna have to either go to greenpoint, brooklyn (which has an enormous polish community) or to the east village around 10th street and 3rd avenue to find polish or polish style fare.

there's a balkan restaurant on 38 between 7 and 8 called djerdan where you can find pierogies and similar shit to polish cuisine. the spicing will be slightly different, but its still eastern european food...you can get all of same stuff you can get in a polish restaurant.

also on 38 between 7 and 8 is ben's...good ny style deli. hardly epic, definitely not the best in nyc, but solid enough. the corned beef is good.

dong hai on 39 for asian food. they were rated one of the top 10 chinese places in the usa. lan sheng and szechuan gourmet will work as well.

check out olympic pita for good shwarma or falafel. if you go, make sure you get your order in a laffa. pita is for noobs.


if you arent looking to stray too far form msg, these should work.

is brooklyn or east village far from msg to walk?? more than 30 mins? i am willing to walk a bit, i like to walk in summer but not more than a mile or so maybe 20-30min walk if shit to see. i heard the east village is the best, but i dont know how far is it?

idk if they compare with those places or not....but i believe excellent mex food can be had in NY, no doubt. i honestly do not know of any cuisine that a good version cannot be found in NYC and/or the environs. idk of any right near MSG tho.


there is burrito loco downtown, hell's kitchen mid-townish...i think there's a place agave that i heard is good, and also rosalita's? something like that.
