We at Unique New York, have stumbled across a gem. A hidden treasure in New York City known to all around the country as the Unlimited Pasta Bowl at Olive Garden. Last evening, we heading to the Chelsea location for $8.95 worth of gluttony. A uniquely New York evening ensued. Three bowls of pasta (each), several family style salads, two baskets of breadsticks, and a magnum of house Red later, we had not only filled our stomachs but our minds.
Now for the nay-sayers out there we have composed a list of the top three reasons why you too should head to the OG:
1. You can't get a sit down dinner ANYWHERE in NYC for under 10 bucks. Seriously. Ok, maybe in Chinatown, but to actually sit down, have a waiter come up to your table and bring you food at that price is next to impossible. So even if you don't like pasta, its worth it to go on principal alone.
2. Its unlimited. They just keeping bringing you pasta! And salad! And breadsticks. It just keeps coming! Now, the Times Square OG will let you pick different pastas/sauces for every bowl you get, but at the Chelsea location they are a little more uptight. We suggest making friends with waiter. If you flirt, they might bring you a to-go box, then you can have lunch the next day! And the savings just keep getting better.
3. It reminds you of home. Well it reminds us of home because we are from the suburbs where every restaurant is a chain restaurant...and everyone is fat.
So, bottom line: Go to the Olive Garden now. Before its too late! It will warm your soul.
*Please be nice to your waiter because they are gonna hate you. Show your gratitude by tipping very generously.
