This might be the most practical and useful food list I’ve seen published hahah. Knowing the best places to eat in NYC is one thing, but being able to pull out a gem a block from wherever you find yourself is the best kind of expertise.
East Village is my runaway winner for great, cheap meals. Casa Adela and Rossy’s for Puerto Rican and Dominican food, respectively. Raku. Electric Burrito. A sandwich from Sunny & Annie’s. Smør Bakery and C&B for breakfast. I could go on. For as much as I love Brooklyn, I definitely miss the density of easy options in that area.
I love the specificity of this list! My rec that fits in with the reliable, affordable bite is Sea & Soil in Carroll Gardens, Edith's Sandwich Counter in Williamsburg, and Formosa in Bushwick.

🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 just feel like no one deserves to be hangry AND in Murray Hill you know?
I love this! I’d add Xi’an Famous Foods and Forma Pasta Factory as solid options across the city. I also wrote about the restaurant-search fatigue recently too: https://open.substack.com/pub/grext/p/why-is-it-so-hard-to-find-a-great?r=1r5d19&utm_medium=ios
