I jumped a subway from my pickleball game to try to get uptown quickly to meet friends for a quick lunch at Marseilles before theatre. Always a good choice. To make up for my lateness, I ordered a chicken salad from the menu so it would be ready when I arrived, so we’d get to the curtain on time.

I walked in as our fab server, Carlos, placed my grilled chicken salad with mixed greens, celeriac remoulade and cherry tomatoes in a mustard vinaigrette ($24). It was just missing the menu-stated haricot vert. So tasty, though. I’d order it again.

One dining partner savored their crab salad with asparagus, shaved fennel, grapefruit, marinated tomatoes, chives, saffron-grapefruit vinaigrette ($32), the other the Lorraine Omelette ($23) filled with gruyere, bacon and fines herbs along with a petite salade and wonderful fries!

After lunch, we headed to the Booth Theatre to see the amazing performance of Laurie Medcalf in playwright Samuel D. Hunter’s Broadway debut of Little Bear Ridge Road.

I recomend both.
