    I traveled to Chicago once and learned where Frank Sinatra's favorite restaurant was. Damn right, I ate there.

    I have a hunch that the Times Square Panda Express is going to put the Times Square Olive Garden out of business.

    I've been to that Olive Garden. Be aware that the tip is already added to every bill. You can adjust it up or down but don't add ANOTHER 20% by mistake! Check your bill carefully because a lot of the restaurants in heavily touristed areas are doing this now.

    Carmine's is good, but it is another frequent stop for tourists. Be aware that chain restaurants are more expensive in NYC than at home. You're not going to find 2 for $20 deals or unlimited apps for $10.

    I'm like Michael Scott, when I go to New York City I want authentic Italian, I'm not going to eat at some corporate joint like Olive Garden that I can just find at home:

    I don't know whether to link to the r/askreddit thread, or to bring up the Low-Cal Calzone Zone. My head is spinning.

    A+ work, OP, would lol again.

    I know you are joking, but my best friends wife actually loves Olive Garden and it is her favourite restaurant. That alone is reason enough to not marry her, but he did! I think I have been there once in the past 25 yrs, and maybe 5 times total. It was my idea to 0 of those times.

    Joking...what are you talking about. This place is amazing. They bring you fresh breadsticks. And the wine there is excellent...try the house cab. They dont even make you sniff the cork!

    Don't bother going there! Their food isn't that good. The wait is way too long & the food isn't worth it. Plus as a NY'er, I stay FAR AWAY from tourist traps! No matter the time of day or night, there are ALWAYS waaaayyyy too many people in Times square.

    Its been about 10 years. Not much different than any other olive garden besides size and location.

    Also, you need to eat more italian if this is really the best you got

    Besides...... I'm pretty sure that they don't serve Bagels at the Olive Garden.
