It's not hard to spend $440 dollars on food in New York, even if you decide to do it at 44 different places. This weekend, New York Daily News wraps up 100 spots to eat for $10 or less. Their rules: "Find 100 places where you can have a meal for less than $10 without tax, tip or alcohol. No fast-food chains, no coffee shops and no slices." Fair enough. Their list includes some of our favorites, like Zaragoza for fantastic $2 tacos, Caracas for arepas, Margon for Dominican cuisine, Sapore for neigborhood Italian, and places we've highlighted here at Gothamist Food: Dumpling Man, Bereket, Hummus Place, and the Chip Shop.
Any of your favorites not on the list? Let us know about them!
