...the poor man's lunch

So...i just got back about a week a go from my vacation. And as a result i am brooooooke.
But if there is one thing that you should know about the chinese, is that everything they produce is CHEAP! Whenever I'm broke...i turn to MY PEEPS in China town...and the wonderful ppl of DELUXE MART.

It's a little bit of a trek but ooooohhhh is it worth it. It's basically a super market but there's this little buffet type thing with ready made food up front. It's $3.50 for a rice box in which you can choose 3 sides to go with it.

Now...common...where in New York City can you get a full meal for 3.50. That's THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS!!!!
OH! and that's not it....They give you sooo much food that it's good enough to last you 3 full meals! 2 if you're really hungry. That makes it at most a $1.75 per
meal....TAX FREE!
And just to add the cherry on top... these buns are the BOMB...port and vegetable buns (FYI: in chinese it's "choi yuk bao") ... only 70 cents each! Now lets face it... you can't be that...it's the poor man's lunch.
Deluxe Mart is located on Elizabeth between Hester and Grand. If you smell fish...you're close.
