Brooklyn On a Budget: 10 Cheap Eats at Brooklyn’s Best Restaurants
- c/o newyork.seriouseats.com
Lulu & Po
This Fort Greene restaurant doesn’t have incredibly expensive dishes on its menu (the priciest item is only $18), but the plates are small, and so it’s the kind of place where you wind up ordering 5 different dishes and spending way more than you thought you would. But it’s so delicious! Seriously. That $18 item is one of the most perfect, crackly skinned, juicy chicken dishes that you’ll ever have. However, you’re on a budget and want to make the most out of the arbitrary $20 limit that I’m imposing on you. So don’t just get the chicken. No, instead get the grilled pizza dough with decadent, house-made, whipped ricotta ($6), and, for something completely different, the General Tso’s sweetbreads with chiles and scallions ($13). Disparate as these two dishes seem, they complement rather than complete with each other and will leave you feeling like your taste buds had a full experience. And all for under $20.
