Affordable in New York (yet fun and delicious!): Little Tong Noodle Shop NYC
It is not difficult at all to find a restaurant in New York - not even a nice restaurant. It's a matter of choice. But man, the majority of all those nice, tasty, hip, new and old, all of which are actually unmissable restaurants in New York, are expensive! If you don't want to run out of money, and still have some left over from your budget to go shopping, do one of the this pizza slice addresses (quick and affordable bite in New York: Pizza!), but if that's not exactly your craving, then put Little Tong Noodle Shop NYC on your short list. One of the nicest (and affordable) restaurants we visited.
The small restaurant just seems… Nice from the outside. Fine. But once inside, the place is remarkably nice: nice interior, very nice service (without that fake New York that you so often encounter - ew), an interesting list of Asian drinks (testing testing!) and, above all, very delicious food for a little one. price! Bam.
There are two locations in Manhattan, but the one on 1st Avenue is the first and perhaps still the nicest. That's also the location, namely in the middle of the East Village, a favorite of your team Bart when it comes to New York neighborhoods. Both the noodles (which you can slurp away unabashedly) and the small bites beforehand are worth it. Perfect spot to land and fill up. We are not alone: we have sent many others there and have never disappointed anyone. Ha!
