Re: need recs please!!

you can walk down a little bit and go to carmines. Since its family style and you all share the plates it usually is inexpensive or tony dinapoli's. Theres also Houstons which isnt TOO far, not right there either but sorta close

If you walk down towards Broadway there are a ton of places to eat. How many people are you going to see the tree with?
Denise-Carmines is definitely one of my faves, I am going back on Sunday yummy

There is an italian place called Pasta Lovers thats on 49th and closer to 6th than Broadway... Its not right in Rock Center, but not too far and they have a huge menu and decent prices.

its the same concept as Carmines, its family style italian food. I always went to the one uptown but i know theres one in times square now.
