I must've been unlucky in my visits then. I definitely found some tasty Afghan places and such around town, but the low prices seemed to be linked to poor ingredients -- cheap canned vegetables, fatty meat and such, overly seasoned to mask this. And apart from those, when it comes to inexpensive eats it seemed to be pizza/calzone/spanakopita /salad places everywhere. That being said, for a little more, you can find some really good eats, but that goes for most cities. http://mandoobarnyc.com/ http://mandoobarnyc.com/ is terrific. It's gotten worse over the years but their kimchi mandoo is still great.
