The New York cheap eats pyramid

Burgers, pizza and barbecued quail: your bargain-filled guide to the only food groups that matter in NYC.

By Time Out editors Wed Jul 25 2007

  • The basics

    Pizza, burgers, dogs, soups, salads and sandwiches-we pick the best of the old standbys (with street eats, too).

  • International

    Finding foreign food in New York isn't hard. Finding the authentic meal is-or was, until now.

  • Gourmet

    The very word doesn't fit in a Cheap Eats issue. That's why it's here-and near the top of the pyramid.

  • Dessert

    Go beyond Tasti D, into this rarefied world of tasty treats.

  • Free eats

    The rarest of all. Welcome to the top of the pyramid. Enjoy the view (and the tapas and panini).

  • The TONY coffee cart guy

    He keeps our staff well supplied in caffeine and fattening pastries. Hear his story.
