Sadly, I think this is true about a lot of the food in Manhattan: the middle got squeezed. There's low end, high volume and high-end, low volume. I'm always amazed Manhattan can support so many on the low end with the economics on the rent, but I think they end up with just truly amazing foot traffic and volume that other cities can't touch.
- chitowneats 4y agoManhattan is an absolute wasteland for authentic, cheap food. Queens and Brooklyn are much better. Some of the best food in the country there.
- boulos 4y agoMostly, I wasn't comfortable saying NYC when people mostly mean Manhattan and fancy parts of Brooklyn for this comparison :).
- chitowneats 4y agoAgreed. Manhattan and north Brooklyn are very different from the rest of the city. The Chinese food in Flushing or Sunset Park is incredible, for example.
- frakkingcylons 4y agoYep. Take the 7 train to queens and have your pick of great international food for like 30-50% of the price of Manhattan food.
