It can be both the cheapest city to eat, and the most expensive. It's really the housing costs that make the city ridiculously expensive. I think new york food prices run the gamut.

VA., I've gotta ask if you know any good Japanese Katsu places around here. My wife misses the chicken katsu we used to get in the Seattle/Mill Creek area when we lived out there. Great blog by the way! Alright, since we’re on food, and you live in N. VA., I’ve gotta ask if you know any good Japanese Katsu places around here.

I was shocked that banh mi had gone up to $2/sandwich! We used to get 10 for $8 when they were $1 each, AND buy 4 get 1 free. Ah, the good old days.

You can get them for less than $5 here. I don't know what Dennis is talking about, there are quite a few GREAT Vietnamese restaurants in Madison, WI. And a few not-so-great. I grew up in Des Moines, IA, where there's a great Vietnamese restaurant on every corner (at least on the side of town I grew up on), so I got pretty spoiled. They are harder to find in Madison, but that just makes me appreciate them more. I love Vietnamese sandwiches! You can get them for less than $5 here.

I think it is a misconception that this is an expensive city to live in. I live in Orlando now and the options to do stuff for free here is very limited, but in NYC the options are limitless!

Banh Mi is great, Pho too, and Che Ba Mau (dessert). In New York's Chinatown, I always go to 69, with the dollar bills all around. Cheap and good! And theres the Chinese Ice Cream Factor place a few shops down... Leechee icecream!! My friends also took me to an all you can eat Korean place in Flushing... i love Korean Ribs. =( I need some Asian food bad. *sigh* I miss Vietnamese food, there isn’t any in Wisconsin.

As a NYC resident am amazed that most people outside of NYC thinks it is the most expensive place to live. There are apartments in good neighborhoods that are under 1,000. There are restaurants that serve good food for less than 50 per plate. You are so right it is about choices. I like note #1.
