Pre-theater for us is one of the very good Szechuan restaurants in the area. They are not touristy although last time we did sit next to a couple from Iowa who ordered beef with Brocoli and complained the whole time the food in their home town was better. 
If you’re interested in Szechuan check menus at places like Szechuan gourmet, blue willow, oohu. An easy low carb meal and a piece of old nyc is keens steakhouse,
Writing this response to you I’m having that feeling of Deja vu all over again so I did a quick search, are your parameters for pre-theater different this time?
