Market Cafe - View this location on map Market Cafe is a small, unassuming place that's a tad like a cafeteria, but serves gourmet food at great prices. You can easily walk out of this unlikely placed restaurant - that sits just east of the more salubrious areas - spending less than $20 on a first and main course. Try the scallops, which were enormous and delectable on a bed of pureed potatoes and arugula with a burnt butter sauce. They're a steal at around $8. 496 Ninth Ave, New York, New York Restaurant, Budget
