★ Best inexpensive restaurants in New York City ★

How to find the really good stuff (and avoid the over-priced tourist traps) at New York City's 20,000-plus restaurants? Use this insider's guide to discover the best cheap eats in New York, from traditional faves like pizza and pastrami to adventurous bites from every part of the globe.

Save cash and valuable stomach space with this amazingly useful app, written by a local writing team who’ve scoured the city in search of delicious, wallet-friendly cuisine. This app features 150 cheap-but-fabulous restaurants and food trucks in New York City, covering Manhattan plus foodie hotspots in Brooklyn and Queens (all within a half hour subway ride from the center of Manhattan).

★ About the Authors ★

Diane Bair is co-author of more than 30 books,including "Places to Eat: New England" (Chronicle Books), a guide to cheap eats. She also wrote Sutro Media’s “Maine Coast Revealed” app http://sutromedia.com/apps/Maine_Coast_Revealed (with Pamela Wright.) Bair covers food and travel for dozens of major magazines, newspapers, and social media outlets. She loves good food almost as much as she loves a bargain, so this app is a great match for her. The strangest thing she's ever eaten: an octopus embryo.

New York City resident Charlotte Bair-Cucchiaro began her cheap eats odyssey while enrolled in the writing program at Columbia University. Since then, she has personally researched several hundred restaurants in Greater New York City, on a quest to discover great eateries that fit the budget of a student/intern/underpaid 20-something-living-in-NYC. She has succeeded brilliantly, as her well-fed test subjects (family and friends, and people she meets in line at food trucks) will attest.
