Right, which would limit me to McDonalds. And the spirit of the thread clearly indicated otherwise.

Hornacek clearly understood.

double it and try again...

Thanks for the tip. Now read my post again and tell me where I said dinner + drinks for $10-15.

And I'm well aware that tourist responses will likely be of no help to me. You obviusly wouldn't be expected to know of Azteca, Pam Real, etc., so this is directed much more at New Yorkers.

Uh, you said "$10-15 for an entree + a couple drinks". Sarcastic [censored].

Try Patsy's. It's a pretty decent NYC Italian chain. Sinatra loved this stuff. There's a good one on 60th and 3rd, but the famous one (the one that Sinatra went to) was 56th and 8th. They give HUGE portions for family size plates (around $30). I went with 4 people last weekend (2 guys 2 girls), got a family portion salad for $20, and a family style seafood pasta for $30. Relatively cheap.

Not exactly hidden, but Lupa (Mario Battali's trattoria) is an awesome value.

Re: Hidden NYC restauarant \"best buys\"
 

They have a John's (which is a pizzeria on Bleecker St. that has pretty good pizza) on 44th St. on the West side. I've never actually been to this one, so I don't know if it's worse or better, but the John's on Bleecker is pretty good.

Not hidden, but awesome pizza, great salads, and no one will go broke.

Finally, a little above your range, but Park Avenue Cafe on 63rd and Park still has their Pay Your Age deal after 8:30 PM.

3 course meal for $25 (if you're under 25), can't be beaten.

Your original post wasn't exactly clear, no need to be a total douchebag in your responses.

It may be time to set up the OOT NYC Pizza Challenge. Grimaldi's, John's, Joe's, etc...

Via Emilia rocks.
Their price range ought to work for you.

Its located at Park & 20th. I'd call to make sure its not closed, since it says "CLOSED" next to the name of the restaurant. FWIW, I was there ~4-5wks ago and it was obviously open. One thing to note, is that they don't take reservations over the phone, so you might have to wait to be seated for a little bit ... but there are plenty of places to grab a drink at in the vicinity while waiting for your table.
