3-Course Italian Lunch in New York City: Bond 45 Prix-Fixe

Italian lunch steps from the theater, no rush between courses

A three-course prix-fixe lunch at Bond 45, the Italian restaurant inside the historic Hotel Edison in Times Square, where you choose your appetizer, entrée and dessert from a seasonal menu. The meal includes a soft drink and gratuity. It runs about 90 minutes and welcomes children from age 2. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and sits steps from Broadway, making it a natural stop for theatergoers, business diners and Midtown visitors.

The experience

Bond 45 sits inside the Hotel Edison on 47th Street, a few blocks from most of the major theaters. If you have a free afternoon in Midtown or a couple of hours before a show, you walk in, order from the prix-fixe menu, and eat without the pressure of a timed reservation or a bill that surprises you at the end. The three courses let you build a meal that actually feels like lunch, not a rushed plate and out the door.

The first course gives you five options: Caprese with housemade burrata, a Little Gem Caesar, Watermelon Gazpacho, Cauliflower Milanese, or Short Rib Meatballs. The main course runs to six choices, anchored by the Famous Chicken Parmigiana, Rigatoni alla Vodka, or Mediterranean Branzino if you want fish. Dessert is Tiramisu, Chocolate Mousse, or Watermelon. A soft drink comes with the meal, and the gratuity is already built in, so you're not calculating at the table.

The restaurant draws a mix of people: theater crowds between matinee and evening shows, business lunches that need to stay under two hours, and visitors who want a real Italian meal without leaving the neighborhood. The space is styled and busy without being loud, and the kitchen moves the courses at a pace that feels unhurried.

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (2 to 17 years).

What's included in the three-course prix-fixe price?

The lunch includes your choice from each course (appetizer, entrée, and dessert) plus a soft drink and gratuity. Alcoholic beverages are not included. Anyone 21 or older can order wine or cocktails separately.

How long does the lunch actually take?

The meal runs about 90 minutes from start to finish, which gives you time to eat without rushing but still makes it work if you have a show curtain or a meeting afterward.

Is Bond 45 easy to reach if I'm using the subway?

The restaurant is in the Hotel Edison on 47th Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, and the Times Square–42nd Street station is a few blocks away. The restaurant and all its areas are wheelchair accessible, and public transportation options are available nearby.

What if I don't want to choose? Is the menu fixed?

You choose one dish from each course, so you're picking what you eat rather than getting a set plate. The menu changes with the seasons, so the options shift throughout the year.
