While not cheap enough to eat every day, Ichiban Sushi (3 blocks south on 8th Ave.) has pretty cheap sushi. When we went I tried their sushi bento box and Pat had the sushi combo. Both were delicious...
A few blocks north on 8th Ave. yields another cheap (really cheap) and delicious restaurant: Gray's Papaya...
This strange, little shop is a step above a street vendor (it's not a cart), but a step below a fast food restaurant (there are no tables/chairs)...
We both tried their "recession special" which consists of 2 hotdogs (topped with caramelized onions and sauerkraut) and a papaya fruit drink...
Gray's hotdogs aren't extraordinary, but they're grilled and certainly better than the ones from a street vendor. And the papaya drink is so tasty!
Last week, we went out looking for a Spanish restaurant in Hell's Kitchen that had rave reviews on the Internet. Unfortunately, it doesn't exist any more. So we kept walking and eventually found a tasty-looking Mexican restaurant called Fresco Tortillas...
What a delicious find! Pat and I both ordered fajitas and they were amazing. For only $5 each, our meals came with enough rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, sour cream and meat for two dinners (with drinks included!)...
Everything was really good, and the best part was the homemade tortillas. Made fresh by an Asian woman. Yes, this delicious Mexican restaurant is actually owned and operated by an Asian family. All in all, Fresco is amazing, but you don't have to take my word for it. Just look at those notable recommendations on their menu from 1991...

Sorry you two have been sick. Hope you're feeling better. The food looks YUM! Can hardly wait for you to show us around in May. Love, Mom
Those tortillas look ALMOST at good as your dad's. Hilarious that the Mexican place is run by Asian's. And I thought you might miss the good food from MSU. I think not.
i hope the fajitas were equal to if not better than sunny side. :)
