NYC eats that won't make your wallet cry ✨️

sharing some affordable bites in NYC that won't make your wallet cry because I know and you know that our wallets are suffering these days 😅

i want to make this into a series where I showcase stuff in like a magazine style way so please look forward to them hehe ❣️

out of these, the ramen and soba places are probably the most pricey, but even then, its not severe enough to make ur wallet cry!
