By now we all know living in New York City is expensive, but that’s part of its charm, right? We’ve created a list of 10 affordable, mouth-watering restaurants and eateries so you can enjoy your meals guilt-free!

1. CAVA

Right off of Union Square, this Chipotle-esque stop is great for a quick, healthy bite. We love the mini pitas-2 delicious pita breads topped with Tzatziki and Falafel. For only $8.75, you get so much flavor with only the freshest ingredients!

2. Vanessa’s Dumpling House

This cute little spot is home to authentic, Beijing style dumplings. For just $1.99, you can get 4 classic, delicious pork dumplings. You can also never go wrong with Chicken Teriyaki (served with a side of rice or noodles) for only $6.49.

3. Dos Toros Taqueria

A casual restaurant, Dos Toros is great for grabbing some authentic, quality food on the go. For under $6, you can get any kind of taco. Our favorite is the Grilled Carne Asada Taco - a fix of steak for a fraction of the New York price!

4. Wok to Walk

This worldwide franchise is new to the US, and taking New York by storm. With 3 convenient locations in the city, you are bound to find a location within ‘wok’ing distance! For $5.50, you can get any kind of noodles or rice with vegetables, or you can add meat and make it even more filling. With tons of options for vegans and non-vegetarians, WTW is an especially delicious stop for everyone!
