Sometimes we find ourselves on a tight budget, that means cutting back on many of the things we enjoy most. Clothes, games, concert tickets, and yes, even some of our favorite restaurants. But that doesn’t mean we can’t occasionally treat ourselves to some yummy and still affordable grub.
There are a bunch of places around town that we can chow down at and still keep our wallets unbruised and intact. These are some of our city’s crown jewels when it comes to eating pretty on a small dime.
