P-wrinkle posted:I'm going to NYC in a couple weeks. Any suggestions of places to eat in the $10-20 range? Amazing and dirt cheap Spanish food: Casa de Adela on Avenue C between E 5th and 6th. It's small, so keep an eye out for it, but you get half a chicken and tons of rice and beans for 5 bucks. BYOB, bring wine! Cheap delicious Indian food: Panna II on 1st Ave between E 5th and 6th Sts. Up and to the right. It looks like a five-foot high acid trip. When you see it you'll get what I mean. Average per person is around $10 if even that. Entrees are around $5.95 each. The Halal Cart on E 53rd and 6th Ave. If you have never had this food, you are incomplete as a person. Don't let the fact that it's street vendor food freak you out; it's famous and it's orgasmic. Alligator Lounge in Williamsburg is also worth checking out. You get a free pizza with every drink you order.  Times Square blows. See it once if you haven't before and then avoid it. K-town is super fun for karaoke and cheap Korean food. K-town is the section of Manhattan right by Penn Station on the east side, like 5th Ave and 32nd St. Lots of drunken singing! Have Kyo Chon chicken (make sure it's the spicy kind, it'll burn your face off, but mild is for pussies), and drink like a fish. Magnolia Bakery on the mid/upper West Side by Lincoln Center is great for rich confections. The banana pudding is very much recommended. This is a splurge-y thing, so do it once if at all. Manhattan is expensive, period. Don't be afraid of the outer boroughs, except for Staten Island. gently caress Staten Island. Useful but unrelated note: When the avenue numbers go up, you're going west. When they go down you're going east. North the street numbers go up, south they go down. This is a vital fact that a lot of people, even New Yorkers, miss all the time. Don't be afraid to ask for directions; people are not assholes here.
