This bi-level restaurant with an extensive wine list is called \u2018date-worthy\u2019 with its romantic lighting with still an affordable menu. While the chicken has a reputation for being dry, the small plates a perfect for sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basso56<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forget the fancy frill and high prices, this place has reliably good food, great prices and is conveniently located next to Carnegie Hall.

The friendly staff promotes a fun, family joint. The Lasagna pizza with three cheeses, beef, and sauce is a must try for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, it is no secret that college kids are not rolling in dough (and we don\u2019t mean pizza dough) and some of these restaurants are on the pricey side. There are two different occasions when college kids are going off campus to eat. The first, when you are sick of dining hall food. The second, is when your parents come to visit. If you want them to take you somewhere fancy, you need to know the place ahead of time to avoid them looking it up and seeing the price. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is great to have cheap fun options in college like the favorite <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/citywalkerapp.com\/cw\/a-rite-of-passage-sharing-the-best-bars-in-your-college-town\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">college bar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but it is necessary to know other places that are higher end.
