The closest places to the Belasco that get you fed and out in about an hour, what to order so the kitchen is fast, and a Book button for the right night. Sit down 90 minutes before curtain.

Sit down at 5:30pm, pay by 6:35pm, in your seat for the 7pm curtain.
Order fast: The tableside Caesar, a chicken parm and one pasta for the table
Red checks, big platters, everything shared. The move for a group seeing the same show.
