Looking for a cheap meal that you can also look like a regular, cultured human being at can be rather frustrating. Of course, the first problem could be that you’re looking for cheap when you really want affordable. To that end, Michelin, while snooting it up at New York’s fancier restaurants, also compiled a list of places they consider both affordable and awesome, which they award their Bib Gourmand designation. Of course, affordable to them means you can get two courses, and glass of wine or dessert for $40, so perhaps save them for times when your parents visit, your boyfriend’s parents visit or you want to have a nice meal before you dump someone.
