Seeing one of spring’s biggest Broadway musicals? Don’t stress about where to eat and drink before or after. Be more chill and follow our pre- and postgame plan instead:
EAT: Load Up on Sushi With a Twist at Sen Sakana
The cool-making superpill at the heart of Be More Chill comes from Japan; some of the best food in the Theater District does, too. Order the Japanese chicken curry empanadas and the sushi combination from the prix fixe pretheater menu at this innovative Japanese-Peruvian restaurant just a block away from the theater. 28 West 44th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues), Times Square
DO: See Be More Chill
Head to the Lyceum Theater to see your teenage social angst and fantasies come to life onstage in a Technicolor musical production. Lyceum Theatre, 149 West 45th Street (between Sixth and Seventh Avenues), Times Square
DESSERT: Shake Things Up at Black Tap
The oversize, fully loaded, and megacolorful milkshakes here match the aesthetic of the show. 136 West 55th Street (between Sixth and Seventh Avenues), Midtown
