Top 10 Highest-rated NYC Restaurants For ‘cheap Eats’

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- New York City is world renown for many things. From Broadway shows and towering skyscrapers, to varied nightlife and the Statue of Liberty, the Big Apple has a lot to offer both tourists and locals alike.

But perhaps one of the most notable reasons New Yorkers from the outer boroughs and the rest of the state will flock to Manhattan is to dine on good food in top-rated restaurants. And that can get pricey.

But you don’t have to break the bank for a good meal in the Big Apple.

For this reason, data journalism website Stacker complied a list of the highest rated restaurants in New York listed as “cheap eats” on Tripadvisor. From Mexican and soul food, to Mediterranean and Italian eats, New York City has it all.
