“One of the delights of life is eating with friends, second to that is talking about eating. And, for an unsurpassed double whammy, there is talking about eating while you are eating with friends.”
Laurie Colwin 'Home Cooking'


About This Site
If you live in NYC or if you'll be traveling to NYC and need a good (but cheap) place to eat, you've come to the right place! My good food list will definitely guide you in the right direction towards eating really "good food" on a limited budget at the coolest places. With so many restaurants to choose from in NYC, I've compiled a list of favorites to share with food connoisseurs, inner chefs, avid eaters, and practical spenders like myself.  If you have any good (but cheap) food suggestions, please share them with me!  As much as I love to give suggestions, I love to receive them as well.  Thank you and bon appetit! 

 

"Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale."
Elsa Schiaparelli, Italian designer (1890-1973)

Cafe Mogador - 101 St. Marks Place (bet. Ave A & 1st Ave)

This local "favorite" in the East Village is known to have amazing brunches, and now I know why.  The food is really good, affordable, and located in one of the city's coolest and trendiest locations.  The atmosphere is very laid-back and inviting.  A great place to dine alone or with a group of friends.  Brunch, including coffee and OJ, will come under $20 per person.....Now, that's good food!  For more information, go to www.cafemogador.com.
