How much money should I alot per day for food on a trip to New York City, for 3 meals each day?

Question

I have a trip early next year to new york city for some drama school auditions and I was wondering how much money I should alot per day for food, for 3 meals each day. Since the days will be rigorous I need to keep my stregnth up so I will probably eat breakfast even though I normally dont.

For lunch I was thinking either a cheap resteraunt, street vendors, or on campus(if available), and then maybe order out or a cheap place for dinner. Each audition consumes an entire day so the only meal I will really be able to fix for myself would be breakfast.

Answer 1

I'd say you could squeak by on $20 a day. Really!
You can get a breakfast special for about $5-7, then get a burrito, pizza slice, falafel, or deli sandwich for lunch for less than $5, and there are these Korean groceries on nearly every corner in Manhattan that have a food bar with great stuff you can buy by the pound.
Dojo is a good, cheap restaurant (8th St/St. marks Place between 2nd and 3rd Aves., and also on 3rd St. between Broadway and 6th Ave. They had a soy burger platter witha salad and pita bread that's the cheapest meal in town, and very good!) The East village is prob the cheapest part of town for restaurants. Benny's Burritos is good, on Ave. A and I think 6th St.. There's also Odessa diner on Ave. A between 7th and 8th. Look in the book "Let's Go NY" for more suggestions.
Good luck! Be yourself and you'll do best.

Answer 2

On the food, maybe make some home cooked meals by urself if your a good or semi good cook. At the most, no matter what a day should be about 20$. If your gonna be fancy and eat at a restaurant often than maybe 45$ at the most. Though, that should only be once in a while so it doesn't cost that much. Get healthy cereal to start up the day good with a apple and a good healthy vitamin filled drink.
