3 Buck Bites, Citysearch’s newest endeavor, attempts to ease our pockets a little by promising to scour our cities for dirt cheap edibles. While it seems like a $4 meal nationwide consists of… you guessed it, burgers, dogs, tacos, sugar, and eggs, there is the occasional oyster ($2 mollusks for the win!) or Asian dish.

The NY offerings are more heavy on the sugar, making me wonder if cost of living can be ignored in this $3.99 bill. Still, there’s hopefully more blocks to walk in our street-food-free, sunless, floating cement box, and cheaper and more edible food to be uncovered in the outer boroughs.

In all seriousness, though, good food should cost less. Restaurants in New York at least (the site currently includes 7 other cities) need to close the gap in price. I am interested to see what sites like 3 Buck Bites will uncover, and what they will instigate.
