Cafe Carmellini: NYC’s $85 Lunch Steal (Yes, Really!) 🍽️✨
Just had the most shockingly generous fine-dining lunch at Cafe Carmellini—85 bucks for 3 courses of pure bliss. No tiny portions, no "where’s the rest?"—just flavor bombs in a gorgeous NoMad townhouse. 🍽️ Menu Highlights 🦀 Crab Salad: Lemon-zested + new secret sauce = cold, crunchy heaven. 🐟 Black Bass: Crispy skin + silk-soft flesh (order two). 🍏 Apple Gelato: Cinnamon-dusted + warm pie crumbs = autumn in July. ⚠️ Skip: Duck dumplings (meh for $28). 💫 Why It’s a Win ✅ Lunch deal: Same quality as dinner (half the price). ✅ Portions: Actual human-sized (left stuffed). ✅ Vibes: Velvet booths + sunlit atrium = date gold. Hot Take: 9/10—Rare "affordable luxury" that delivers. Your fave NYC lunch splurge? Spill below! 👇 #NYCOnABudget #NoMadEats #LunchLikeABoss #HiddenGems
