Dining out on a $40 budget today is significantly more challenging than it was in the early 2000s.
Opting to try this experiment in New York City, my goal was to find three reputable food spots and get some filling, flavorful meals that stuck to Ray's original $40 budget from over two decades ago. I sought to include trendy spots to prove that you can still eat well and get those Instagram-worthy food shots without breaking your wallet.
