Long before Sinatra found his favorite table at Patsy's, New York City's theater district has overflowed with the vibrancy of wannabe actors, singers, and playwrights, many of them staffing local restaurants. Here are signature recipes from 30 of the Great White Way's best restaurants: start with an appetizer like Crabmeat Stuffed Avocado from Broadway Joe or Chunky Potato Leek Soup from Café Un Deux Trois. Choose an entrée from Sardi's, the "21" Club, Orso, Victor's Cafe, or Messon Sevilla. And end with a sweet Strawberry Mousse from Trattoria Dopo Teatro or Flan from Brazil Brazil. Drinks are on the house from the Algonquin, Frankie and Johnnie's Steakhouse, the Russian Tea Room, or Chez Josephine.
