@Anonymous the $6 dinner at wondee is a lie. they were very confused tonight.
@Anonymous Stop trying to make a Milano’s boycott a thing.
@Anonymous When Maoz allowed unlimited toppings, it was a pretty good deal (despite the issue of tongs grazing people’s partly-eaten food as they repeatedly refill their pitas), but now they only let you get toppings once and it’s really not worth the walk/extra money over cart falafel.
@Anonymous it’s all about the Amir’s lunch special. $6 gets you a felafel, a great side (get the mujadra) and a bottomless drink. It’s perfect.
@Anonymous AND YOU SUPPORT AL QAEDA.
@anon $1 empanadas (beef, chicken, or three cheese) on Wednesdays from 4-7 at Havana Central
@is this how you roll in flavor town? -$5 dumplings at the chinese food cart on 116th & broadway
-Lunch special at Amir’s (Falafel, 1 side, 1 soda)
-Roti Roll
@Anonymous Sookk is phenomenal, would be packed 24/7 if it was closer to Columbia. As it stands now I can only travel there in the summer though.
$5 basic staple days at Deluxe though are the opposite of cheap and affordable, don’t fall for their lies Bwog
@who are you $8 for lunch is cheap eats!??!?!??
@BSGS White people.
@MalBicho @who are you:
dafuq. cheap eats my ass.
This article should be “FOOD YOU CAN GET IN THE AREA”.
@But who... …are you? This is Manhattan.
@Anonymous @who are you: Have you ever tried buying food in New York City..? and I wouldn’t consider $8 a deal either, but for an actual dish at an actual restaurant, that’s a steal.
@Anonymous John Jay is the Best!
@Anonymous Ok we’re not dumb. You clearly just asked for us to thumb this down.
@But... I like Comic Sans :(
