Best place under $20 in Manhattan

What makes this place great is that they have great food at a great price with a nice atmosphere - try the turkey chopped steak with fried onions on top; simply mouth watering. Another good choice is the roasted chicken. The food is really very satisfying. This place is also affordable! This place is the dollar equivalent of making a meal at home for yourself - its pretty easy to walk out of here under $20; a really great value in Manhattan. The last thing that wins me over of this seemingly undiscovered gem is that it has a 14 foot ceiling with windows that open out onto the street. After a day at the beach in the summer, there is nothing like coming back into the City and going for dinner at the Bus Stop Cafe with a slight sunburn and the summer wind genlty blowing through the open windows as you eat your mashed potatoes and chopped steak. (Also a great place for weekend brunch!)

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
