BEFORE THE SHOW
The aroma of bubbling mole hits the moment you walk into adorable bolt-hole Café el Portal (174 Elizabeth St between Kenmare and Spring Sts, 212-226-4642). Fill up on supercheap dishes such as chiles rellenos, or follow your nose to that chicken mole.
AFTER THE SHOW
You could just down suds at the Vig Bar (12 Spring St at Elizabeth St, 212-625-0011), but it’d be a crime not to try the martinis. It’s a rare bartender who can knock out the perfect vesper. You just found him.
