Oh, golly. I can eat almost anything, but durian gives me the gag reflex! I went to Malaysia with DH in 2000 and ate jellyfish, chicken feet, thousand year old eggs, pretty much everything except that fruit. Yuck!
Bao 111 on Ave. C. Their tuna/black truffle spring rolls are worth a visit alone. Pretty much everything on the menu is delicious and not too expensive. Last time I went, 4 adults ate for under $250 with sake. Enjoy NYC - so much fun!
McDonald's fries dipped in one of their chocolate shakes. It ain't pretty, but oh my! it tastes good.
Fritos with Helluva Good Onion Dip. I can't look myself in the mirror for days afterwards - thankfully, I only buckle about once a year (twice if it's a really rough year)!
potato chips!!!! And maybe some nuts. If I am in a sweet mood and I have some cookies which are homemade (loathe store-bought) then I will go for that.
Deep fried offal (crispy, extremely fatty)
Cheesecake
Tortilla chips with that day glo orange spicy cheez sauce...
Black pepper water crackers, salted butter, & jalapeno jelly....standing by the fridge making a new one while eating current...naughty...
There's this awesome Japanese place by my office that's just ridiculously good Aburiya Kinnosuke , in the east 40's, where they serve freshly made tofu with roasted salt. The place is amazing. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either. You really need reservations Even then, they may stick you at the counter, but that's cool, it's fun watching the chef's do their thing. Good sushi, good cooked food, good service.
Linda's chocolate fudge cake from the Cheesecake Factory. Just wow.
I would recommend 'inoteca on the Lower East Side -- really fun place, and great food -- and small plates, so you can watch your budget if you like without sacrificing flavor. Also, I've recommended this place before, but I think Alias, also on the LES, is great, and they have a really reasonable prix fixe. For a truly wonderful dinner that isn't expensive, come to Brooklyn! Chestnut on Smith Street is fantastic, and so so easy on the wallet. Very easy to get to by subway -- take the F train to Bergen, and it's about a 4-block walk.
Have fun!!
