Real Cheap Eats’ Fall Guide: East Village to West Village

Although the East Village and West Village is packed with some of the city’s trendiest restaurants and rising chefs, our writers have learned through plenty of noshing that it’s also home to some of the city’s best cheap eats – especially if you’re looking for bona fide New York classics.

We’re sharing our dive into the heartland of Manhattan dining: some of our favorite dishes from 14th Street to Houston, running from Avenue A to Eighth Avenue. The spotlight skews towards Village mainstays, including classic versions of the New York dog and The Slice. There’s also the perfect raised doughnut and one of the finest egg creams in the city. Newcomers to the neighborhood include Peruvian street food, two dishes from our favorite 24-hour Cuban diner, and an unsuspecting dessert in the heart of Saint Marks Place, among many others.
