From a busy girl:

Being a poor student after making decent income for 5 years takes some adjusting. Being a poor student while living in Manhattan takes a lot of adjusting. Being a poor student who is also an extreme food-lover in Manhattan means you have to get really creative.

And so, to help other poor law students in Manhattan who love to eat, I’ve compiled a list of cheap eats that actually taste really really good (because there’s nothing worse than eating bad food).

So enjoy!
