Pio Pio serves some of our favorite roast chicken in the entire city. For $10, you get half a juicy rotisserie chicken and a side of slightly spicy Peruvian green sauce. You’ll notice that there’s a lot of literature here about someone named Mama Juanita - the person who the chicken is named after. Try her namesake bird, and you’ll understand why we often list her as our emergency contact.

Pio Pio

The rotisserie chicken at Pio Pio is one of the best ways you can spend $10 anywhere in the city.

Beyoglu image

Beyoglu is a great Upper East Side spot for a casual dinner outside. Get the doner kebab.

La Esquina image

La Esquina has a few locations around the city, and the one in Midtown is especially useful for something quick before or after a Broadway show.

Daily Provisions image

We wish there was a Daily Provisions on every corner, so that we would never be far from their excellent breakfast and lunch.
