I have been eating out a lot these past few weeks. A lot.
I’ve been trying to eat meals that land in the $5- range.
Hale & Hearty medium-sized yellow & split pea soup
Maoz Vegetarian-Falafel sandwich
Shake Shack-Shack Burger
Sigmunds-Cheddar Jalapeno Pretzel
Ray’s Pizza-Caprese Pizza Slice
To all of these I could add stuff on….fries and a shake at the shack, sweet potato fries at maoz, a full pretzel sandwich, more pizza….but then the meal would no longer by $5!
But! Then I decided to try to lose a few pounds for an upcoming audition, and none of these choices are going to aid me in the rapid weight-loss situation. Day one of the diet, I skipped the bread that came with the soup at H & H. After polling my peops, they agree: cut the carbs. I do eat a lot of carbs.
I do still think that these $5- options are excellent and if you are ever NYC, please check ‘em out!
kage,
for another delish lunch – found the greatest little secret place close to where I think you have a lot of auditions – its on 18th between 6th and 7th and called Telegraphie Cafe. The most delicious salads for about 5 dollars (the “half” salad – though seriously big enough for a full lunch) ordered at a counter but then served on real china with real silverware by the sweetest french ladies. It looks like nothing from the outside but you will love! I feel like its quite a steal. And should you be in said neighborhood on any mon-wed-friday – call me, that’s right where i work. xoH
oh! and limelight marketplace just opened yesterday on 20th and 6th in old limelight club. tons of food and shopping options, too!
I love these ideas and I hope we can lunch together sooooooooooon
Oh, shame on you for planting the Jalapeño pretzel in my brain :) Now I have to seek one out.
