We’ve had a ton of Broadway giveaways lately (shameless reminder to enter our Leap of Faith giveaway here) but where’s a cheap place to grab a quick bite?
Sometimes, I don’t have a time to eat before the show, and am just looking for a place where I can grab a few drinks and snacks and be out the door in 30 minutes or less. Plus, I don’t want to hit a tourist trap and drop $5 on a slice of pizza. And that’s why I love Rudy’s on 9th Ave near 44th Street. For $7, I can get a pitcher of their house brew, Rudy’s Blonde, and enjoy free hot dogs. Unlike Crocodile Lounge where you can get a free pizza per drink, you can pretty much get as many hot dogs as you want here. For $7, I’ve gotten a pitcher before and two hot dogs (don’t judge, I was hungry) and let’s be honest, that’s cheaper than a dirty water dog on the street.
I will warn you, seating can be pretty tight and while there are booths, you’ll probably end up standing. But if you are rushing to make an 8pm show, and want to grab a quick bite, Rudy’s is definitely worth checking out.
 The Basics Name: Rudy’s Location: 627 9th Ave near 44th Street Who to bring: Friends Price: $ Great value Overall: 4 stars.  In my rotation in Hell’s Kitchen.
