So you're in NYC. Most likely, you're staying with relatives or you're fortunate enough to find affordable accomodations such as B&B:NY (http://pinoytraveler-bunny.blogspot.com/?spref=fb). Now where do you go to get decent meals under $10? Here's a few that I tried from an article I read at Time Out New York (http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/restaurants-bars/38681/35-best-new-cheap-eats):
Ballaro Caffe Prosciuteria on 77 Second Ave between 4th and 5th Streets (nearest subway station: V). This is an Italian café that offers espresso & panini. Its top picks: Mortadella with artichokes on spongy focaccia ($8), caffe macchiato ($1.50). For the constantly wired, Baralla offers free wi-fi.
Bouley Bakery on 120 West Broadway at Duane Street (nearest subway station:
Chambers Street). New Yorkers call this the "Poor man's Bouley", but hey at least you can say you've tried David Bouley! When you reach the corner of W. Broadway and Duane Street, the Bouley eateries occupy 2 corners of this intersection so make sure you go to David Bouley's casual cafe and market. If you enjoy Terry's in Salcedo Village, you will also enjoy this place. Everything is self-service (no tip!). Order the freshly made sandwiches like the chicken-avocado sandwich served on a crusty baguette ($7.50) and sample their dessert.
Of course there were another 33 restaurants in the Time Out NY article but I just did not have the time and the courage to eat sooo much. So if you happen to be in NYC, please try to explore the other restaurants and let me know what you think.
