I'm going to the final performance of Gypsy, followed by dinner at the Union Square Cafe (which I have had recommended to me). Is there a dress code for this restaurant ? Is there also anywhere where I can read the menu online. I know this is an unusual request. Please don't have a go at me for posting this. I am genuinely looking for information.
Thanks.

If you go to www.menupages.com and enter the restaurant name, you can pull up a menu. I've never eaten there but I've heard the food is outstanding, so it sounds like you're in for a fabulous night.

I don't know if you're a male or female, but as far as a dress code goes, I'm sure as long as you don't wear Raggy jeans and sneakers and a t-shirt you'll be fine. Which frankly, nobody should even wear those things if they're going to a Broadway Show IMHO.
I'm sure kacki pants and a golf shirt would be fine for a guy, and a skirt outfit or dress, or dress pants with a nice shirt for a girl. Most of the restaurants in the area do not require a jacket and tie type of dress.

Anonymous-
There are several New Yorkers on this board,so I'm hoping one of them will read this and help you (edit: I see Christine has answered while I was posting!)
If not,try this site:
Chowhound's Manhattan message board
Do a "Find" search (depending on your computer-it may be the CTRL key + the F key) to see if your question has been answered (the first Union Square thread does not discuss dress code-I didn't look to see if there are any other threads.). It's a very active board and they seem quite helpful.
BTW-I don't find this an unusual request at all. You'll find that not all the posts here are theater-related (this is more the catch-all board). And the pre-dining and post-dining experiences are an important part of the theater experience (at least,it is to me),lol.
I do have the 2004 edition of The New York Times Guide to New York City,and it has a very positive review. Sounds like you'll have a great meal.
It's been a while since I've used a Mobile Travel Guide,but I have a feeling they do discuss dress codes in their books. Zagat's might-I did have a Zagat's NYC guide,but the majority of my books are packed away!

I agree with the dress code suggestions. Follow any of them and you'll be fine.

My browser hiccuped before I finished.
What I really meant to day was..what a treat you have in store. Union Square Cafe has some of the best food in New York. You will be in heaven.

The only people who are going to notice you if you look weird in any way are the tourists--good rule of thumb!
