Carmine's
Type of food: Italian
Location: Near Times Square - 200 West 44th Street. There's another branch at 2450 Broadway.
Star dish: Spaghetti with possibly the world's largest meatballs
This bustling, atmospheric venue in the heart of town knows just how absurdly big its dishes are, and advises diners not to try eating a whole main by themselves. That makes it an excellent-value place to eat and perfect for sharing several different meals among a few of you, and the location couldn't be better for stopping by after you've taken in a Broadway show.
