Motorino has a great luncheon weekday deal. There us a place nearby that is really only known in the neighborhood, Luzzo's.

I think that Carmnines would be good spot for you. I was there few times and quality was really good. About pizza, all of them are quite similar, but I choose Motorino. When I go out and want to try something new often check http://placeiliveexample.com. You can found all restaurants and etc.

Carmine's is ok, but it doesn't take reservations for two, and the waits can be 2 hours plus. Instead, try Tony's Di Napoli, which does take reservations and has better food (and smaller portions). Reservations this time of the year are a MUST, and you need to make them at least a week or maybe two in advance at popular places (yes, even neighborhood restaurants that accept them).

Salento, an another Fodor's topic you note you are making your first trip to NY soon. But you are making restaurant recommendations and making broad generalizations. Please clarify if you have been to NY and have tried these places.

I did a turn-about and ended up with these:
Night 1, Nice Matin (at our hotel)
Night 2, Swagat (forgot to mention Indian)
Night 3, Boulud Sud
We should eat well. I expect lunches will be at whichever museum we're visiting.
Thanks for all the good suggestions.

Yes, how to be an expert on Carmine's and reco to someone - and which branch? Really there are SO many better Italian places - either a tourist trap or great for young groups with large appetites.

It's on East 46th Street. DH has been there a couple times and liked it. Apparently there was a mob shooting there years ago?? I have never been... They had availability on Sat night for 4 people. This will be our first time going to NYC together.
