Affordable NYC restaurants.?

I am turning 19 in about 4 weeks. My friends and I want to go to a restaurant in NYC to eat. I have been searching around but I just can't seem to find the one I want, that isn't crazy expensive. Any suggestions?Affordable NYC restaurants.?
It's funny, I was going to suggest Carmine's as well. They have two locations (I prefer the Upper West Side one at 91st Street as opposed to the Times Square location). Beyond that, The Five Napkin Burger is a very cool and stylish place for late teens, and affordable -- get the 5 Napkin Burger, it's one of NYC'S best. Another place that everyone loves is Cafe Lalo on 83rd Street and Amsterdam Ave. It's famous for a Tom Hanks movie and is set up like a French Cafe. Great place.



All of these places are affordable and loved by teens. I have teen children and they agree!

Have fun, and happy birthday!
I have a couple of ideas!



1) Sweetiepie is a cute place to have a birthday lunch or dinner:

2) Amber is an Asian Fusion restaurant and they have multiple locations in different neighborhoods. They don't seem to have a website but here are their locations:

3) Alice's Tea Cup also has a few locations. It's Alice-in-Wonderland themed:

4) If you love sushi definitely try Poke on 85th and 1st. really great sushi and pretty affordable.



Have a great birthday!!Affordable NYC restaurants.?
Tao, is a Japanese/chinese restaurant. It has family sized platters so you can share or get your own. They are very nice and affordable. There is also a Italian place that also has family sized plates. This one is my favorite out of the to. The name of the place is Carmines. On your birthday they will bring you a crazy big dessert for free.

In both of these places you can dress up really nice or moderately casual.

Hope you have a great time and a great birthday!
If you're going into Brooklyn, try Junior's on Flatbush Avenue. There's a subway stop on the next block.



Junior's has been there forever, and the food is an interesting fusion of NYC deli with Southern black cooking plus a little Caribbean thrown in. You can skip the barbecue, but everything else is good. The cheesecake is famous -- and unlike Lindy's, the fame is justified.



My favorite time to eat at Junior's is on Sunday afternoon, when the church ladies show up in their best hats.Affordable NYC restaurants.?
You should definitely try Tacu Tacu, 134 North 6th Street Brooklyn. It is an awesome place and for a fam of 4, we usually pay about $70.
