Now we'll wrap up today's show with calls from you, listeners.

We want to know about your favorite spots to get a cheap meal around the city.

The number to call 212-433 WNYC, 212-433-9692. And when I say cheap, I mean, pre-COVID inflation day's cheap. We're talking

$10 or less. Cheaper the better, but it has to be delicious. 21, 2433, WNYC. Why are we celebrating

cheap meals at this moment? Well, maybe you've noticed the quiet

disappearance of a New York City staple, the dollar pizza slice. It wasn't necessarily the most

elegant slice of pizza, but if you've ever had, you know, counted quarters between paychecks

or needed a quick bite, after a few rounds at the bar, you know the value of a trusty dollar slice.

There is one spot in New York City that realized how much our city needs cheap pizza,

according to the new site, Hellgate BD Star Pizza on Avenue A has brought their prices back down from $1.50 to 99 cents.

Owner Sanaula acknowledged that those 50 cents make a difference for his customers.

So despite the inflated cost of flour, cheese, plates, and napkins, he said he's returning prices to pre-pandemic levels.

So listeners, are there other dollar pizza places that we should know about that are really just exactly a dollar or 99 cents?

Any other spots in your neighborhood that offer cheap and delicious food?

Help your fellow WNYC community out and get us a cheap lunch.

In preparation for this call-in, I put a message on our internal slack here at New York

Public Radio asking some of our colleagues for their ideas of favorite places to get very cheap meals.

And I've got a few to offer you.

Morning Edition senior producer Alec Hamilton recommends you check out Radhouni's Suites and Restaurant in Kensington, R-A-D-H-U-N-I, particularly their Shingara and Samosas. That's what Alex says.

Rose Buban, our receptionist, then contributor to Gothamist's Arts and Entertainment Section,

loves the pork and rice plates at Wafung on Christie in Chinatown. They're 650. That's pretty good
