Grub Club: Rainy Recession Special

The Grub Club is always on the lookout for good cheap eats. Last night, Pam and I stopped by Vanessa's Dumplings for the ultimate in economical edibles. (I found this place through the NY Recession Specials blog.) Six dumplings for $1.29! We had to check it out. Nothing chases away the rainy Wednesday blahs like a steaming hot plate of pennies-per-piece pork products.

1) Green tea smoothie with tapioca pearls. 2) Fried pork and scallion dumplings. 3) Wonton and noodle soup. 4) Boiled pork and scallion dumplings and a sesame pancake sandwich.

So cheap for so much food. I'm still stuffed.

I love Vanessa's dumplings! If you keep walking down the street, there's Artichoke Pizza, which is always packed because of its generous portions and draft beer. Not necessarily the cheapest but definitely worth it.

Hi, Olga. Funny that you mentioned Artichoke Pizza. After we downed our dumplings, we went for a walk and passed AP. There was a line spilling out the door and good way down the block. I'll definitely have to try it!
