The Social Director's picks for
Eat and Run

You have only about an hour for a sit-down meal. You'd like someplace nice, but not too expensive.

 

Bahn Thai
409 Roy Street, 206-283-0444. Thai. Inexpensive. Dinner till 11 pm nightly, lunch weekdays only. Reservations recommended.
It's a cozy, pleasant, candle-lit spot (some say romantic) with an extensive Thai menu. When it comes to spices, you can tell them how hot you do or don't want it (one to four stars). They also have many options for vegetarians. Save room for coconut ice cream.

Pagliacci's Pizza
550 Queen Anne Ave., 206-285-2134. Inexpensive. Open 11 am - 11 pm Sun through Thurs, 11 am - 12 midnight Fri/Sat.
Many say this chain offers the best pizza in Seattle. You may know them best for home delivery, but this is one of their three sit-down locations. They do have other food options, but then why would you?

Box Dinner at Gretchen's
The Intiman Theatre has a special arrangement for box dinners with Gretchen's ShoeBox Express. You must pre-order your dinner, but then you can pick it up in the lobby; it's a good option if you know you won't have a lot of time for a meal in a restaurant, or you just don't want a big meal. Orders for fresh sandwiches or salads may be placed until 9:00 a.m. on the day of performance and will be available for pick-up in the lobby an hour and a half before curtain. There are tables and chairs in the lobby or out in the courtyard where you can eat. Call Gretchen's at 206-623-8194.
