Things You'll Need:

- transportation to New York City if you don't already live here

Step 1
Eat at Pizzerias. New York City is full of amazing pizzerias, from the legendary Di Fara in Brooklyn to all of the Ray's pizzeria restaurants scattered through the boroughs. A pizzera is a very quick and cheap way to get a satisfying meal. From slices of large, cheesy pizza to calzones and strombolis, a New York City pizzeria is a surefire way to get a great meal without spending a lot of money.

Step 2
Stop by one of New York's many legendary diners. New York is full of great diners, such as Moonstruck, where you can get a hearty, warm meal at an unbelievably low price. From grilled cheese sandwiches to exotic Greek delights, what more could you ask for?

Step 3
Swing by a street vendor. Okay, so this might not exactly be classified as "dining out," however, this is one of New York's classic ways to get a quick bite. Hot dogs, falafels, souvlakis. New York's street vendors are a great way to get the quintessential New York "eating experience."

Step 4
Dine at a Chinese buffet restaurant. New York is full of Chinese buffet restaurants with great, unlimited Chinese (and often American) food. You can find these low-priced Chinese buffet restaurants in the Chinatown section, but they're scattered all over the boroughs as well. Bottomless dim sum and spring rolls and maybe even french fries too--what a meal!

Step 5
Try a Thai fast food joint. Thai fast food joints are popping up all over the city as Thai food increases in popularity. Cheap, quick, and like a more flavorful Chinese meal, this is a quick way to gain energy as you prepare for a day of walking around the bustling metropolis of Manhattan.
