Sky Pavilion

[From the 12/9/24 newsletter]

I feel like I’ve discovered gold in finding a dreamy new Chinese restaurant in the theater district: Sky Pavillion.

We went there with our pals Mark and Diana before seeing Audra McDonald in GYPSY (an iconic performance: get your tickets now!). Finding a genuinely good place to eat in the theater district is a huge accomplishment; and the food at Sky Pavillion is extraordinarily delicious (and spicy) Szechuan cuisine.

We loved everything that we ate, but highlights were the potted tofu (the dish on the bottom) which came lots of chilies and peanuts on top; the spicy chicken with fried dough on the right; the cumin lamb up top; and the dry sautéed string beans on the left. I want to buy more theater tickets just so we can go back.

    I ate here last night, as a result of your review! It had been on my radar for a while and finally made it to this odd stretch of 42nd! It was fantastic! We ordered the green beans with pork and the cumin lamb alongside dan dan noodles and various dumplings. All brilliant! I bonded with the owner/head chef as he is from Chengdu, China, the epicenter of Sichuan cuisine and one of my favorite spots in China. Will explore those green peppercorn dishes next visit!
