There is no shortage of good food in New York–there is also a lot of crap. Those unfamiliar with the city may have trouble separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to all of the choices available. To help, Serious Eats offers Tasting Tour: Eating on the Go in NYC. It lists many, many places where one can encounter some deliciousness. All of this is broken down by neighborhood. And, they even throw in some pointers on navigating the public transit system for good measure. Even if you’re a resident, this is worthy of a look (although, you may be able to skip the “Getting Around” section).

The Frugal Traveler has a round up good information for those wishing to experience New York City on the cheap. They include recommendations for travel to and from the city, a range of inexpensive lodging options, and of particular interest to locals and tourists alike, inexpensive things to do while in the Big Apple. The original post drew many, many comments. There is a follow up post highlighting some of the reader recommendations for experiencing NYC without breaking the bank.

I’ll also take this opportunity to plug Tais’ Cheap and Fabulous blog, which showcases all manner of fabulousness on the cheap in New York City.
