🇺🇸 NYC Must-Eat｜🔥 Carmine’s Giant Portions!

🇦🇺 NYC Food Diary (1️⃣0️⃣) I’ve been bouncing between China, Australia, and the U.S. this past half-year — and now I'm heading back to the States! ✈️ 🤓 Hey everyone, it’s foodie KK here! ✅ Goal: 1,000 restaurants / ✅ Logged so far: 4️⃣0️⃣5️⃣! ☀️ Today’s Share: 📍 Carmine’s Italian Restaurant – Times Square ✨ [Group Dining Heaven｜Huge American-Italian Portions] ✨ I always recommend this spot to friends visiting NYC for the first time — it truly lives up to the “one-dish-feeds-a-table” reputation! 🤣 🍝 Carmine’s Specialty: Every dish is GIGANTIC — easily enough for 3–4 people to share. Perfect for lively gatherings like friend hangouts or birthday celebrations! 🍽 What We Ordered: 🍤 Lobster & Seafood Pasta My jaw dropped when this arrived… A whole lobster 🦞 + jumbo shrimp 🦐 + mussels + clams, piled mountain-high! The tomato sauce was rich and fragrant — every bite was a burst of seafood and pasta goodness. A total win for both the eyes and taste buds. So satisfying!! 🥗 Caesar Salad Even the salad is enormous! Loaded with crispy croutons and Parmesan cheese — tangy, fresh, and the perfect balance to all that pasta. ⚡️ Verdict: 😍 Portions are INSANELY large — seriously, come with 3–4 people. 😍 Super fun for group gatherings — the vibe is always buzzing. 😍 Right next to Times Square — super convenient before or after exploring. 📌 Tip: Be sure to make a reservation! Walk-in waits can be crazy long. 👉 KK will keep sharing delicious food, great coffee, cool spots, and fun finds! 💕 #FoodieDiary #NYCEats #CarminesNYC #ItalianFoodNYC #TimesSquareEats #GroupDining #BigPortions #SeafoodPasta #NYCRestaurants #MustTryNYC #FoodShare #EatingNYC #NYCLife #FoodGoals
