Dining Cheap in New York City

EuroCheapo, that guide to budget beds in European cities that, in the interest of complete disclosure, also employs one Jaunted contributing editor, recently launched a New York City Cheap Eats feature to accompany the site's also newish NYC budget bed listings.

Written and compiled by T.J. DiChristopher, the Cheap Eats feature divides staff faves into three categories: the very cheap, the splurgeworthy, and desserts.

The obvious budget options like Grey's Papaya are here, but so too are kick ass and somewhat neglected NYC restaurant gems like Soul Food spot Miss Mamie's Spoonbread Too on 110th between Columbus and Manhattan and Ghenet, Soho's best Ethiopian spot, on Mulberry between Prince and Houston.

If you run into a throng of Germans at Miss Mamie's or Ghenet this summer, methodically writing check marks next to names of restaurants on a dog-eared piece of paper, there's a good chance that EuroCheapo will have sent them there.
