Chef Gilbert Cetina’s Holbox, recognized as L.A.'s most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant, offers exquisite seafood dishes at accessible prices, especially its $17 lunch special.
"Affordable pricesâthat was our key when we started this restaurant," Gangadhar says. "If a person is coming with even $5, with $1 chai and one puff he can have a good evening."
With inflation affecting dining costs, Applebee's and Chili's remain affordable alternatives, offering competitive pricing on meals that appeal to budget-conscious consumers.
With their diner-like atmospheres, sprawling menus of affordable comfort food and-most importantly-strong, creamy milk tea, Hong Kong-style tea restaurants have become a staple of NYC.
