Can someone please point me towards some yummy and cheap dinner options. By cheap, I mean entrees ranging from $15-$20. I am up for anything, but since I wont have a car and chances are it'll be freezing, I would like the places to be of walking distance. Please help me out, I dont want my NYC trip to be a food waste...=) Fri Nov 06 19:12:07 -0800 2009 273008 mymomisthebestcook 1 5162567 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/567993 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/593835 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/602347 Fri Nov 06 19:35:32 -0800 2009 5162535 103920 goodhealthgourmet 1 5164491 Hey there, Lots of options nearby but many more (and I believe better) if you can take a 10 minute subway ride. Also, you may get more responses if you can be a bit more specific about cuisine/atmosphere. NYC has too many options sometimes!

There are places on 9th and 10th Avs., Szechuan Gourmet on 39th, and then there's Koreatown. By the way, mymom, don't assume it'll be freezing. Unless you're coming from someplace like Miami, you shouldn't have too much trouble walking around in November weather.

Broadway 212-581-1818 Mexican w/ great margaritas Sun Nov 08 06:39:49 -0800 2009 5162535 32941 Rmis32 1 5165072 El Deportivo is a couple of blocks away - 701 9th Ave (at 48th St.) Good Latin American food in a no frills atmosphere and really inexpensive. The pork dishes are standouts. http://www.menupages.com/restaurants/el-deportivo/ I also strongly second Szechuan Gourmet. Sun Nov 08 09:58:15 -0800 2009 5162535 10162 Bob Martinez
