dining à la art - Bar Boulud Lincoln Center

Bar Boulud
1900 Broadway, 212-595-0303, Upper West Side,
Manhattan
Let's say you have tickets to the Metropolitan
Opera or the imaginative London import, War
Horse, atLincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont
Theater.

Bar Boulud is a stone's throw away. The
polished staff beautifully orchestrates the pre-
theater, three-course $42 menu so there's no
danger of missing the curtain. The bistro is a
dressed-down Daniel Boulud concept, with plain
wood tabletops lining an interior that looks like a
sleek, inflated train car.

Choices on the pre-theater
menu differ every day but you might find
country pâté, Long Island duck confit and gooey
chocolate moelleux with plums and fig-salted
caramel ice cream. On the wine list, mainly
dedicated to the Rhone Valley and Burgundy, are
a number of excellent labels available by the taste
or glass if you're worried that a whole bottle
might induce a nap mid-show.

For a post-show
nosh, a late-night menu is available until midnight
on weeknights and i am on weekends.
