You guys are too much, lol!

Personally i would try to think of something that would surprise. you said you go to NYC on vacation in the summer and winter, try and think of the first time you guys went and take her to a spot she absolutely loved, you know the first time you were both there I think she would always cherish the fact that you remembered that spot after soo long and pop the question there, it doesn't matter if it's a restaurant or a certain you both stopped on a walk or something. Just a thought from a female on the board :) no matter what i'm happy for you and congrats in advance :thumbup:

you want good italian go to carmines you want good real cuisine go to Remi (venitian style)

Where is carmines?

There are 2. 1 in the times square area, and 1 on the upper west side. Just google Carmines NYC and you'll get their info. Carmines used to be a lot better, but they've gone downhill the last few years. They don't take reservations unless you have like 10 people and even then you'll be waiting forever as the tourists have pretty much taken over both restaurants.

IMHO, if you want AMAZING Italian in midtown, Patsy's (not patsy's pizza in the village) on 56th is the place to go. The menu is huge, the wine list is huge, the service is top notch, and the food is outstanding. You don't even need to look at the menu if you don't want to, you can just tell your waiter what you want and most of the time they'll make it for you.

There are other very good italian joints in NYC, don't get me wrong, Little Italy didn't get it's name because it's shaped like a boot, the restaurants down there are also very good (monty's comes to mind). Anyway, check out patsy's, you won't be sorry.

Why did you wait so long? Just ask her right now and that's it. Sooner you do it, you'll feel much, much better. Proposal does not have to be fake, and "special" beacuse life is not, make every day off your life the best day of your life.

Congrats!
