BEFORE THE SHOW
The most convenient slice near here—and some say the best—is at Smiling Pizzeria (323 Seventh Ave between 8th and 9th Sts, Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-788-2137). For slightly more upscale Italian—and a patio—try Sette (207 Seventh Ave at 3rd St, Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-499-7767).
AFTER THE SHOW
Pair Belgian chocolate and wine at Cocoa Bar (228 Seventh Ave between 3rd and 4th Sts, Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-499-4080). Or refuel with microbrews, whiskey, bourbon and burgers at the Dram Shop (339 9th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves, Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-788-1444).
