Amazing Cheap Eats In NYC—Starting At Just $1!
I am always looking for good eat-out in less bucks. I saw this article on refinery29.com for Cheap Eats in NYC. It was worth finding good restaurants near my office.
A) Under $5
Dollar Slice at Percy's Pizza ($1)
Both Serious Eats and the New York Post have called Percy's the best dollar slice in the city, and with real-deal Italians putting out pies you'd pay five times more for, we don't argue that.
Percy's Pizza, 190 Bleecker Street (between Avenue of the Americas and Downing Street); no website.
Maoz Sandwich at Maoz ($5.25)
Falafel feels like it’s cheating, because it’s right up there with other fried goodies, but it’s vegan — and good for you, and completely satisfying. It confuses us. But Maoz makes it easy, stuffing its pita pockets with crazy-fresh veggies and some of the finest falafel this side of Nile.
Maoz, 38 Union Square East (between East 16th and East 17th streets); 212-260-1988
Salted Pretzel at Sigmund's Pretzels ($3)
This salt-and-carb-fueled snack that shouldn’t but easily can step in for lunch. Sure, you could always grab a stale old twist of dough from a street cart, but Sigmund’s tops theirs with feta and olive or truffled cheddar. Hard decision.
Sigmund’s Pretzels, 29 Avenue B (between Eassigmundnyc.comt 2nd and East 3rd streets); 646-40-0333.
Banh Mi Pate Cha at Banh Mi Saigon ($4.25)
Pillowy bread with just the right kind of crumb, the classic combination of ham and pate — Banh Mi Saigon was one of the first shops to bring the famous sandwich to our fair city. And, we imagine, it tastes just as perfect now as it did then.
Banh Mi Saigon, 198 Grand Street (between Mulberry and Mott Streets); 212-941-1541.
B) Under $10
Stewed Pork Hand-Ripped Noodles at Xi'An Famous Foods ($6)
Another Xi’an plate for bigger bellies, the ripped noodles — made right in front of you — are all amazing, but we’re partial to the unctuous scraps of sauced pork that layer this pile of handcrafted, starchy goodness.
Xi’an Famous Foods, 81 St. Mark's Place (between 1st and 2nd avenues); 212-786-2068
Mortadella sandwich at Parisi Bakery ($7-9)
We’re giving you a range on this sandwich price because there’s no menu to speak of at this Little Italy institution. Just follow the lead of the legions of sammich-hungry habitués, and expect a legendary sandwich that will last for several meals.
Parisi Bakery, 198 Mott Street (between Kenmare and Spring streets); 212-226-6378
MOB at Maimonide of Brooklyn ($8)
Hipster philosopher-hotelier Cyril Aouizerate’s strange new spot is far too complex to explain here, except to say that it’s vegan and backed by some pretty famous chefs. The signature MOBs — shaped like the arches of the Brooklyn Bridge — are full of eggplant tagine, a vegan-take on Margherita pizza, and more.
Maimonide of Brooklyn, 525 Atlantic Avenue (between 3rd and 4th avenues); 718-797-2555.
Duet noodle soup at Noodle Village ($6.95)
Between the dozens of bowls of scrumptious, steaming noodle soup that the Village puts out every day is the subtle dance of the Duet: a fishy broth surrounding a mop of egg noodles, which hold shrimpy dumplings and lick-your-lips crispy fish skin.
Noodle Village, 13 Mott Street (between Worth and Mosco streets); 212-233-0788; no website.
