oh, and if you haven't been to
Carmine's on your previous trips to NYC, please please please go!!! you will not be sorry. the best italian food i've ever had... my mouth is watering right now just thinking about their chicken scaloppine with lemon and butter... they do serve things in family sized portions (i think they only serve single portions for lunch but i could be wrong), but hey, that just means yummy food to take home
