Spend a night on the town with your girlfriends in the New York Theater District. Full of hidden gems, spend an evening enjoying drinks, dinner, dessert, and more! These are the perfect spots to stop by before or after a great play or musical.

Here are a few of our favorite spots to frequent in Midtown:
