Ba Xuyen?

When it comes to cheap eats and restaurants in general, there are few places that get five stars from me. With only a week left in New York until who knows when, it’s my job to revisit my old favorites and maybe even find a new gem or two.

So tonight I’m doing Brooklyn cheap eats. Let’s break it down.

It could be a good night for meat and when I think barbecue, Fette Sau and Peaches Hot House come to mind. Both are delicious, but because you can expect to pay more at the former, I’d probably choose Peaches.

Downtown is Mile End, which serves Quebecois sandwiches, but you’re slappin’ down a twenty when you go here. No I need something cheaper…Mexican or Chinese maybe.

Chavella’s, on Classon Ave., has rave reviews and could be a good Mexican fit.

Joya in Cobble Hill supposedly serves good Thai and it’s cheap with a nice ambiance, but Note Thai in Bushwick is my jam. And while you can get Chinese food all over the city the Chinese food in Sunset Park is arguably the best: Vietnamese sandwiches at Ba Xuyen or soup at Yun Nan?

So many options, so little time. What should I eat for dinner tonight?
