2 Wash Heights Restaurants Named Among Best Cheap Eats In NYC

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — A pair of eateries in Washington Heights just made a list of the 40 best cheap eat restaurants in New York City.

Eater NY published an article this week titled, "40 Inexpensive Dining Destinations."

The two uptown restaurants to make the list? Calle 191 Pescaderia and Native Noodles.

Here's more information on the two eateries.

Calle 191 Pescaderia: 1609 St. Nicholas Ave. near West 190th Street

Calle 191 Pescaderia is a fish market that also has eat-in dining options.

"Located in the northern reaches of Washington Heights, this Dominican establishment handily combines a fish market with a restaurant," Eater NY wrote. "Decorated with artificial palm trees, it also boasts a bar, and the lengthy menu features nearly every Spanish and Latin Caribbean seafood dish imaginable."

Some of the most popular dishes include the lobster patty, seafood soup, sautéed conch meat, mofongo, octopus with garlic sauce, and more.

It's also open 24-hours a day.

You can get a whole fried Tilapia for $11.95.

Native Noodles: 2129 Amsterdam Ave. near West 166th Street

The Singaporean restaurant opened in 2021 after shooting to popularity with a successful run at the Queens Night Market in 2019.

Here's what Eater NY editors had to say about the Washington Heights noodle shop.

"One of the city’s few strictly Singaporean cafes is tucked away in a relatively quiet corner of Washington Heights, with a comfortable interior, and dishes handed through a window from the kitchen," Eater NY wrote.

Its menu includes popcorn chicken, fried wontons, chili crab dip, a roti John sandwich, Singapore fried noodles, satay peanut noddles and more.

All of the items cost between a $1.50 and $14.50.
