Now there's an understatement. Even us NYers would consider that absurdly expensive, even given the quantity of food the Carnegie serves.

At places like the Carnegie, that's common. It's all about squeezing in as many people as they can.

You have some good (and some less good) recommendations in this thread. But when traveling with a 4-year-old, I think convenience is as important as finding the best pizza or the best deli. I think Carnegie was a fine choice, notwithstanding the price and the squeeze, given its convenience. I think John's is a good choice for the same reason.
