Brimming with umpteen ethnically assorted eateries and upscale restaurants, the city of New York serves the best of the world to epicureans from round the globe reserving tickets aboard flights landing in USA. The article offers a rundown of some of the cheap yet popular eats in the city.

The dining scene in New York does not disappoint be it the upscale restaurants with meal for one costing hundreds of dollars, or budget eateries and take away joints in the busy city centre across the street where food lovers can satiate their appetite as well as save some dough. The expensive à la carte restaurants aren’t the only option to treat your taste buds; every corner of the city brims with countless budget dining options serving nothing less than the authentic fare from around the world; thanks to the ‘tossed salad’ character of the city, with people from diverse cultural backgrounds who took flights to the Big Apple from far and wide and called it home. Hordes of locals as well as tourists who book flights tickets for holidays in NY throng these places every day. Let’s look at some of the top choices that gourmands find well worth the money spent on air tickets for flights to the city.

Graffiti Food & Wine Bar
Graffiti is a great place in the East Village, a neighbourhood in the borough of Manhattan, if you have a thing for Asian spices and ingredients and would not mind the big and bold flavours. The restaurant is run and owned by Jehangir Mehta of the ‘Iron Chef’ fame. Graffiti may be easy to go unnoticed for its small size, but the incredible flavours created by harmonising rich Asian ingredients with American and French cuisine pack a punch that is difficult to forget once savoured. The small plate restaurant serves up eclectic dishes for as low as $7. Quite highly rated by some review websites the restaurant is flocked by locals as well as tourists arriving on New York flights and who connect to Manhattan that is also popular for a number of tourist attractions.

C&C Prosperity Dumpling
Immensely popular for its hole-in-the-wall like location, the dumpling cheap eat located in Lower East Side offers delicious delights that are generously filling as well as appealing to the taste buds. Amongst the appetizing options catered, fluffy, fried and boiled dumplings remain the most placed order. The remarkably flavoursome varieties of dumplings include crispy pork-and-chive dumplings and boiled vegetable dumplings (wrapped in whole-wheat dough) to name a few. Besides, a reasonable choice of soups and pancakes are also available. Looking at the menu you will find that all choices are priced far less than $5. All in all a great place to gratify appetites of New Yorkers as well as true blue Dim Sum lovers taking air tickets for flights bound for New York.

HANCO’S
Vietnamese ‘Banh Mi’ die-hard fans can get a great value for the price of their flight tickets to USA at New York’s Hanco’s. With three locations in Brooklyn, Hanco’s is rated amongst the popular food-joints and delivers a cheap yet enchanting treat to every food lover. It’s not just the regular fresh sandwiches that have been pulling crowds to the spot but the classic Banh Mi with generous filling of pork, ham, mayonnaise, pickled carrots, daikon radish and cilantro in a toasted French baguette is given equal credibility. The milky, bubble tea available in tempting flavours (coconut, mango, strawberry and almond) is a must-try. With flawless service and enormously divine dishes Hanco’s is as famous with the foreign tourists taking USA flights to Big Apple and visiting Brooklyn as it is with the locals.
