A NYC Weekend On $100

My most excellent Frijoles Rojos

From the NYT's Frugal Traveler column:

After debarking, we took the subway up to Times Square and headed over to Margon, a hidden lunch counter on 46th Street that serves Cuban specialties. We split a Cuban sandwich ($6) and pork chops with a huge mound of rice and beans ($9) (and the check) and added two Coronas for $2.50 each, which exhausted my alcohol budget. Lunch ended past 4, and Valeria took off for other (less frugal) engagements.

Cuban food is cheap and yummy!  Too bad there's not enough of it here on the West Coast.  Except at my house.
