The Best Places To Have Dinner For Around $30 In The East Village - New York - The Infatuation

"There are a lot of dumb ways to spend $10, like playing five games of ring toss for an unwinnable stuffed giraffe at a carnival or buying a Serge Gainsbourg record from a sidewalk table on 1st Avenue when you don’t own a turntable. A smart way to spend $10 is on a bowl of the pho at Sao Mai. The housemade noodles are topped with a solid amount of beef, and even if you add on an appetizer (like the shrimp summer rolls), you’ll leave very full for less than $20." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren
