How much should i expect to spend per day on food in new york city?

Question

i'm thinking of going in the next few weeks and i was wondering what to expect

Answer 1

A few hotels provide a Free (included in your stay) Continental Breakfast so wake up early, load up and most likely it will cover you until lunch time where you can get something lite and cheap.

Breakfast: Free (depends on the hotel) to $7

Lunch: $5 to $15

Dinner: $20 to $40

Total per day $25 to $65

If you have a hotel with a microwave, you may want to take advantage of it. Find a local store and buy a few things and prepare it in the room if you are staying in or when you return to your room after a long day, prepare something, watch a little TV and hit the sack.

You can also look for all-you-can-eat places. Most are in the $15 ballpark with great tasting food.

Answer 2

Depends on you. Are you to good to eat cheap? I know of restorants that sell 10,000 doller deserts. What is your budget? we all know the price of a mc d's. if you want to go to something a long the lines of lower to mid class, like olive garden, about 80 bucks for two

Answer 3

30-40 Bucks should be enough if you take like 3-4 eating breaks per day. Like you spend 10$ on a meal approx. I was on a shoestring budget and was ready to eat falafel and hot dogs (like street food). And be absolutely fine. I have had days in NYC when I just spent like 12$ on food.

Answer 4

My daughter and I were there last month and we didn't eat at upscale restaurants, but we spent over $80 a day for the 2 of us.

Our hotel didn't offer a free breakfast so we bought muffins and fruit to eat in our room which was inexpensive.  For lunch  we went to places like Stage  Deli, Burger Joint or Applebees.  Dinner was some place like John's Pizzeria, Carmines, Stardust Diner or Juniors. We stayed in midtown so we never saw the inexpensive diners NYers always mention -- wish we had, the food would have been better.

Answer 5

30 bucks maybe 40

Answer 6

25 bucks a day.

Because, I was a poor boy.
