re: New York, Broadway area?

If you just plan on eating near Times Square, then Carmine's is always good. The portions are almost too big for just 2 people. On the upper West Side there's a little Italian Rest called Genarro. Excellent food with a nice quaint atmosphere and a good selection of wines. (It's cash only however.) Little Italy is always a great experience, but I would save this for a lunch date instead of dinner. It is a little sketchy at night.
