Fat Sandwich at Hoagie Haven

HEART STOP ($5 for half)

BUFFALO FRIES ($3)

Ever heard of a Fat Sandwich? The infamous "fat sandwich" originated at Rutgers University (Adam from "Man vs.Food" competed in the Fat Sandwich Grease Trucks challenge there). But, the ever-popular Hoagie Haven has the best fat sandwiches, by far. The bread, meat, and vegetables are far fresher, therefore, better tasting! Most sandwich halves are less than $5, yet very filling. In addition, they have plenty of sandwich types, including, breakfast, hot, cold, and your generic deli sandwiches.

Note: definitely try their "Sanchez" sauce on pretty much anything. Also, try out their buffalo fries (pictured below). Most of their fries side orders are $1.50-$2.50!

Price: $2-$8

Taiwanese Buffet at Asia Buffet

BEEF NOODLE SOUP,  PORK RICE, DUMPLINGS, DOUGH STICKS

One of the few Taiwanese buffets out there! It's only $7 for lunch, and $13 for dinner and weekends (prices may vary, I'm not too positive!). They have traditional Taiwanese dishes (beef noodle soup, pork rice dishes), Dimsum, Chinese dishes (lo mein, fried rice, dumplings, general tso's), Japanese Sushi, dessert, soft serve ice cream, and shaved ice!

Note: try the Peking Duck (it has a soft, thick chinese bread as a wrap, instead of the usual thin wrap), and beef noodle soup! Also, there is a little traditional Taiwanese red bean pastry that is delicious! Flaky yet crunchy on the outside, and sweet on the inside.

PRICE: $7 (Weekday Lunch)/$10 (Weekday Dinner); $11 (Weekend Lunch)/$13 (Weekend Dinner)

Pre-Fixe Filet Mignon Steak at Porter House New York

PETITE FILET MIGNON W/ TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES AND SHALLOT-RED WINE SAUCE (pre-fix menu)

RIGATONI BOLOGNESE ($14 sm./$25 lg)

Absolutely FANTASTIC pre-fixe menu available for $48! The portions are very generous, and do not skimp like most 5-star restaurants (as I tried to highlight in the photos). In addition to an appetizer, entrée, and dessert choice, there is fresh bread served with delicious butter. [I often go back to restaurants with great bread as a starter. As a side note, the pasta is not included in the pre-fixe, but just as delicious as everything else!].

Also, the view inside and out is beautiful, a great restaurant to relax in / go on a date / go with a group.

NEW YORK CHEESECAKE AND FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE (pre-fix)

Note: if you try to look for the pre-fixe menu at Porter House New York's website, it's only viewable online in the Lunch Menu (labeled as "Park View Lunch" which is priced at $24). But the same menu is available for dinner, just not advertised online.

PRICE: $15-$50
