Just like going out, eating out in the Big Apple can be either very cheap or very expensive. You'll have no problems stuffing yourself for less than $10. Mains cost anything between $8 and $20. 'Subs' from New York's celebrated delis cost around $6. When funds are running very low you can always count on a hotdog from one of the numerous stands for no more than $2.
Q. Where is the best selection of restaurants in the city?
Unsurprisingly, Chinatown and Little Italy have many restaurants, while there are some really cool places to eat in Greenwich Village. You should be able to feed yourself on $10. When you are really broke you can always rely on the hot dog stands. Seventh Avenue is lined with delis.
Q. Are international cuisines well-represented?
As New York is home to so many nationalities, every type of cuisine is represented.
Q. What times do restaurants close?
Restaurants will generally take their last orders around 10pm or 11pm, but there are pizza joints open through the night.
Q. Anything else I need to know?
You can't smoke in New York's restaurants so make sure not to light up after your meal.
