Cheap Eats in New York

Filed in archive Cheap Eats on August 17, 2006

When in New York, you need not eat Hotdogs all the time in order to save money. Budget traveling and eating while in this city does not mean that you need to buy from vendors and eat at the park bench. There are actually numerous options:

100 places to dine for under $10.
"A meal for less than $10 without tax, tip or alcohol. No fast-food chains, no coffee shops and no slices. Just real food at sensible prices: good tastes and good values."

Best Dining in Manhattan for $20.
Enough said.

Upscale taste? How about trying out the cheaper version of food prepared by top chefs? "With the city's top toques opening cheaper outposts to lure the everyday diner and build a franchise, chef groupies needn't wait for special occasions to indulge their upscale appetites. What's sacrificed in tablecloths, ease of making reservations, and caviar supplements is gained in cut-rate, high-quality cuisine".

With all the variety of cheap eats available, you surely wouldn't run out of places to eat during your visit. Don't forget to go to Gray's Papaya at least once, though.
