When we noticed that Olive Valley closed up shop, we lamented the sudden dearth of cheap food options on Bogart. But don’t fear, it’s still possible to eat inexpensively without, god forbid, going grocery shopping and cooking your own meals. Here’s our round up of tasty cheap eats in the neighborhood, but it’s by no means exhaustive. What are your favorite, inexpensive meals in Bushwick?
#1 Chicken Caesar Salad @ Green Street Salads (67 Irving Ave) ($6.50)
The Chicken Caeser Salad isn’t the only salad at Green Street that clocks in under $7, but sometimes you just need that special Roman tang to kick start your day into shape. But if you want something a little more off the beaten path, try the Chorizo Taco Salad.
#2 Chorizo Quesadilla + Tamarind Jarritos @ Taqueria Mexicano Los Hermanos (271 Starr St) ($5.50)
There are few things in this world that will make your heart and belly swell with as much pleasure as a divine selection of tacos will. But one of those things just might be the view from Tortilleria Mexicana Los Hermanos during twilight while you’ve got a buenisimo chorizo quesadilla in your mitts. They press these tortillas to order, so they’re a little thicker, crispier, and doughier than normal (h/t Ian). Go forth, feast widely, and wash down your dwindling and effervescent youth with a Tamarind Jarritos.
