The 39,000+ runners who will compete in the ING New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 7th get all the glory. But what about the two-million-plus hungry and thirsty spectators who cheer them on all day?

They need fueling too. If you’ll be playing cheerleader that day along the 26.2 mile course, take the “Pasta Marathon” challenge at the Zagat 2011 featured restaurant MARCONY. Marcony’s decor is greatly influenced by the Italian Isle of Capri, offering a distinctly Mediterranean escape within Murray Hill.
