Lost in New York: Manhattan Chinatown |
We all know how expensive it can be to eat in New York. Especially in Manhattan. Going to an “inexpensive” restaurant or even a trip to the supermarket can still leave a backpacker feeling over budget. Its true – NYC can be a really pricey city – but for travelers that are willing to stray a little from the beaten path, it can also be an incredibly cheap place to eat, drink and explore. We've got lots of culinary gems here that are affordable, authentic, and well worth the trip.
Manhattan Chinatown is home to many of these places – here you can indulge in authentic Asian food for less than $5 a person. My favorites are the Hong Kong style noodle soup, Vietnamese sandwiches and pho, and the dollar dumplings.
Hi! I'm from New York originally - have been traveling quite a bit for the last few years. I spent '09 and '10 living in southern Spain, teaching English, and exploring Andalucia and Morocco. I later moved to Macau (China) to work for the circus and see what I could in southeast Asia. I'm now back in New York. I'm new to Let's Go! I'm interested in writing about music and arts and food and all the random things here that really make NYC an amazing place to explore. More to come.
