The Italian places on Staten Island served huge portions. The casual places
served pizza by the slice. Angela and I would split one slice of pizza and
the smallest salad we could get and that was still huge. We could not finish
all the food. Made the mistake of trying to split an order of ravioli once.
Far too much food.

When my parents came to visit, we'd each order a different thing and ask for
a box right away. Most of it was taken home,. There would be enough food for
my husband to have a meal after he got home from work and then lunch the
next day for all of us.

I've seen places supersize things too. Doggie bags are my friends!

I dislike huge portions and doggy bags. They were rather a fact of life in
NY but here, most places offer more sensible portions.
