"The Pit is (mostly) an improv theater with a few different spaces (including one on 29th Street), but the main building is just a few blocks from Studio - an American/Middle Eastern all-day restaurant in the Freehand Hotel. If you’re trying to prove that you know about all the coolest things around the city, we’d suggest coming here before or after a show (as opposed to just telling your date, “I know about all the coolest things around the city”). You’ll have to walk through a well-decorated hotel to get to your table, and it’s the kind of place where you might briefly consider re-doing your entire wardrobe while you eat Turkish dumplings and a burger with harissa." - Hannah Albertine
