About the food:
In NY, we had dinner at Carmine's, which is said to be one of the most popular casual dining areas there. The place is always full of people, especially during dinner time, such that, even if you arrive on time to get your reserved seats, you would still have to wait for an hour or more to get seated at your table. Furthermore, if you did not book a day in advance (or more), and you just decided to book upon arrival at the restaurant, then you would have to pay a substantial fee just for the booking of the table (no food and drinks included)!
Moving on, Carmine's is all about Italian casual family dining. All their servings are meant to be shared and come in really large servings. The waiter/chef there will provide you suggestions on what are good dish combinations. Plus, he/she would also advise you when your orders are already enough to make you and your companions full.
On top, we got fried calamari rings and heads... which is really A LOT for an appetizer.
This is a clam soup, which is ok.
This one is meat with portobello mushroom, and is highly recommended.
This is one is seafood pasta (with lobster) and also comes in a massive serving size.
This is also another variety of pasta, the name of which I can't recall.
This veal dish is soft and tender.
Finally, when the huge dessert came, we were already too full and got to taste only a few of it. It had a lot of cream on top.
If you're a big family or a big group that came to visit NY, be sure to check this place out. It's a gastronomic experience of a lifetime.
