Great Pasta in Little Italy New York

Phillip wasn’t terribly excited about his upcoming trip to New York. That might sound surprising to hear, but he was only going do to a required business trip where he was going to have to represent his regional company and request more money for it and his particular division. He was going to fly in on a Monday and leave on Wednesday afternoon and was going to be in meetings all day so he really didn’t anticipate being able to do anything else. However, as luck sometimes has it, it certainly went in the right direction for Phillip.

He walked into work a week after he found out he had been selected to represent his region and everyone looked at him with a sense of secrecy. For a second Philip thought he might be going to get laid off, he knew he couldn’t be so lucky. He quickly reminded himself that it wasn’t funny and he was actually lucky to have such a good job in the current economy. It was almost as immediately as he returned to a place of gratitude that more reasons for it were bestowed upon him. His supervisor came out and told him that he had won a raffle to upgrade his accommodations for the trip and that he would be staying in one of the four star New York hotels and that he was receiving the rest of the week off and enjoy his time in New York.

That wasn’t the end of Phillip’s good news. When he got home that night his girlfriend Wendy called him and said she had been able to take the time off and could join him. When he mentioned the extra days and hotel upgrade she became even more excited and was sure that wouldn’t be a problem for her. So, what at first seemed like it was going to be a grueling and tedious work only business trip, turned into a great vacation. On their first free afternoon together in the city they enjoyed a fabulous pasta lunch in Little Italy. They had heard about a little place called Puglia’s and they found it and had one of the greatest spaghetti meals ever.
