Nope, not Carmine's. It's called Fiorentina Pizzeria and Grill, 852 8th Avenue, and either at 53rd or 52nd- https://fiorentinarestaurant.com. This was a very clean place, but more dive-ish- not a restaurant- just some tables and chairs- they clearly do a ton of take-outs. And, it's close to that theatre where I saw Here Lies Love- which is at 1682 Broadway- which was at Broadway and, I think, 55th or so. Since I've been to Manhattan so many times, especially as a kid- I have excellent instincts for where I can get good and affordable meals. I found it just by quick visual searches in the area. Plus, while I had plenty of time to eat this meal- I wasn't at all sure I'd have enough time to eat at a restaurant. I mean, LOL, you actually have to work pretty hard to have a crap meal in Manhattan.
