The theatre is located at 175 N State St (Google Maps).

The show is from 1 - 3 p.m. and then we were planning on just walking around downtown for a while until dinnertime. So the restaurant does not have to be in close proximity to the theatre, but just so you know the general area we will be.

I would like to find a place that is nice/fancy/upscale but not overly expensive. I was thinking that entrees in the $20-25 price region would be acceptable. I would prefer a local place and not a chain, if possible.

I've tried to search online but it seems like I only can find places that are either way too pricey or else just typical chain-fare.

basically, im being taken to one of them for my birthday, and want to know if the food is significantly better at either, approx. price range for each, and if the difference in price is worth it....I guess price is my main question - they said they don't mind spending a few dollars, but i wouldnt want to waste other people's money any more than my own

I have a dear friend who recently moved there.. a good cook and "foodie"..

He says, there are many Ethnic Neighborhoods, with all kinds of good food..

but the only thing He's found "Local" are Perogies and "ChoptHam Sammich".

I'd like to help him, and I love cooking other regional foods myself for like a "Mini Vacation"..

The concert begins at 1 am and ends at around 1pm. We have had a hard time finding a place for lunch where we won't be rushed out at 2pm.

Any suggestions? We go in separate cars, so would like to know about a place that is easy to find.

Thanks.
