@brianfiguresitout: Trying to eat cheap in NYC after getting laid off. Today I found a lunch for under $10: 2 hot dogs and a papaya drink for $8.50 at Gray's Papaya. It's called the Recession Special, which feels a little too appropriate right now. @grayspapaya #laidoff #over50 #nyclife #SelfImprovement #nycfood

Is that considered “cheap”? In my country all of these cost estimates is like $4-5
