Carbone – best Italian meal in Manhattan so far
I took my friend here for dinner. I’m not going to lie it’s pricey, but it’s soooooooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooood.
The dishes were so big that we shared, the antipasti of baked clams, the pasta, which is probably the best pasta I have had in a very long time and the ribs. Never have I seen the ribs so big in my life and I have eaten a lot of places. It’s not an easy restaurant to get into, but it is worth it. For somewhere so good I thought the service was attentive and not in the least bit snotty. It has a real family feel inside in both senses of the word. If you want good Italian, I highly recommend the place if you want to go eat good food, drink from an extensive wine list and pig out completely.

Hustle in the Bustle
Things that annoy me greatly in New York, are people asking for money just because they are on the hustle.
On the Subways the rides can last a minute. Some old sod will get on the carriage and say ‘Hey Everyone I’m going to sing A Song’. They are not homeless, they are not desperate, they are playing on the need people have to give to charity, even if they don’t understand what they are giving to.
They then sing the chorus or verse of the song as tunelessly and loudly as they can and before the minute journey is up have their hat out for you to give them cash.
They then move onto the next carriage.
If they get 2 dollars from one carriage and that’s per minute then they are onto a big hustle.
