good place to have dinner in NYC (Manhattan)?

[gotsmack]

going with my friends and he wants to go to Dallas steak house, but we always go there. I don't even like their food and the tequila they put in drinks is SO ROUGH.

criteria is atleast decent food (no asian food) and under $20 a plate for dinner in Manhattan, thanks in advance.

You first 2 guys are too funny.

and we don't want to get asian food, so no Pho.

Under $20 in NYC?

Man...can you narrow it down to a particular part?

EDIT: Are you implying that asian food /= decent food? 😉

I realize that, can you be more specific? westside, eastside, financial district, soho, tribeca, village, etc. etc.?

Trattoria Tricolore has the BEST italian food i've ever had.... Right off Times Square and it came to around $20/person 🙂

Sotto Cinque is a good italian joint on the UES (2nd ave between 85 and 86). Pasta dishes are under $10 and the food is quite good.

I'm open to anywhere that is relatively close to the subway and don;t run the risk of getting mugged.

Manhattan's very safe. I wouldn't worry about getting mugged.

You gotta love that silly sign they have outside the place. I forget what it says exactly but I remember something like, "loving the saline pink flesh of our hotdogs...". Something like that anyways. Their hotdogs suck btw.. Nathans > Gray's Papaya.

I also suggest trying out a place in Little Italy. I'm sure you can find something in your price range.
