Too much food?

[KateMW]

I'm starting to plan our July trip and I'm already stuck! We arrive on Friday at 11am at LGA and are staying at the Ritz on CP. Since we won't be able to check in to our hotel, I was thinking we would go have a great lunch somewhere and I'm thinking it will be EMP. It would be a late lunch, probably around 1pm I would think. Then we're also planning on Marea for dinner that night {of course, we haven't made reservations for any of this}. My question Is if that going to be too much food? We love to eat, but I don't want to be unconscious the next day either!

Thanks.

p.s.~ Yes, I know I'm planning waaay early.

How late are you willing to eat dinner? Marea is open until 11:30 on a Friday night and a quick check on opentable shows they take reservations until 11:00 (though you may want to check if they limit what you order, etc.) I can tell you that when we pass by after the Opera (say 11pm) they are still pretty much full, so it's not like you'd be dining alone.
I'd also say it depends on how many courses you want to eat at each.
Frankly, I would rather over eat at 11 Madison, which I think is a much better restaurant, and risk not being too hungry for dinner.

We'll probably make our dinner reservations around 9-9:30. When we went to Marea in Nov. we ate about that time and left at about 11pm and it was packed. Thanks!
