Carbone New York

The Best Lunch In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Carbone is secretly the best at lunch, and that’s also when it’s easiest to secure a table. (Not actually easy though—just slightly easier.) During the day the curtains are pulled back to let the daylight into this cult-famous Italian restaurant, nobody seems to care how long you stay, and it's something of a revelation to drink a Negroni surrounded by people who probably don't have to worry about a day job. Reservations are released online 30 days in advance at 10am. Walk-ins are not accepted. Best of luck." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
