Walking inside Carbone's brought forth a Bolsa Mercado flashback. Like Bolsa, the chalk board menu is limited during lunch, with the same sense of a mini grocery store slash deli vibe. Knowing almost absolutely nothing about this place caused a confused mess of emotions upon realizing Carbone's is counter service. Tipping while paying at the counter should be outlawed. This practice causes...
