Don't forget the $4 dishes at Seven Treasures in Chinatown. I sometimes take the train and pick up 6 or 7 dishes and eat for a week.

It will be interesting to see how long ToL can hold out. Every other cheap hole-in-the-wall joint I used to hit up when I lived in A-ville has been priced out of the neighborhood.

Hey, do they run a Mercedes Benz exporting ring I can join?

Billy Goat cheeseburger are overrated, overpriced, and not that good!

I love Taco Burrito Place across Walgreens on Fullerton and Pulaski?

Nice list. Cedars in Hyde Park should be removed though. It isn't especially cheap at all (doesn't compare at all for example to Pita Inn in Skokie -- either price or quality).

I think they are doing pretty well. They seem to be busy everyday of the week, and one of the few benefits of the current economic downturn is that landlords aren't looking to kick out tenants who can pay their rent. The Middle Eastern Bakery across the street seems to be doing fine as well. When I have more time tomorrow there are a lot of place in this area that should be added to this list - Tokyo Marina is a pretty kick ass place as well.
