Budget Friendly Lunches in Westchester

[randomdude]

I love to eat out for lunch but find that I cannot spend much money. In these troubling economic time it is good to know that there are amazing places to get food for under $10. I have several places that I go to repeatedly. Here they are in no particular order...

White Plains
Ruth's Hot and Cold Deil - Jamaican
La Picara (Sunshine Deil) - Mexican
Karamba Kafe - Cuban
Dante's - Italian
Yaranoush - Mediterranean

The last two might technically be Hartsdale

Westchester Groceries - Indian in Thornwood

Corona's Lunch - Dominican in Sleepy Hollow

Med - Empanadas in Briarcliff Manor

Some of these places are Chowhound staples but some might be new. These are some of my favorite places but I am a man who loves variety. If anyone else has some great places for under $10 in Westchester, let me know. I prefer places close to White Plains but will take anywhere around Westchester, the more eclectic the better.

Most chinese/oriental restaurants have lunch specials that include soup and main dish for under $10. At EuroAsian in Port Chester they have a $9 lunch special that includes soup, a large salad, main dish and rice. It's a nice place to sit and be served.

I LOVE the salad bar (hot & cold) at the Asian produce market with all the flowers outside on the Bloomingdale Road end of Mamaroneck Ave--sorry I don't know the name (might be Sunshine something). For less than $10, I walk out with a mountain of healthy, tasty, ridiculously fresh food. Their hot food looks so savory & enticing.

Lenny's Bagels in Rye Brook has a daily chalkboard of 6 or so creative, tasty, generously-stuffed bagel sandwiches for $5.99. All of the specials include choice of soup or small salad (cole slaw, potato, mac, or cucumber), and coffee or tea. The bagels themselves are arguably the best in Westchester.

Rye Brook is a little far for today, but I am going into Stamford this weekend and I will try it on my way home.
