Alpha Donuts is totally cool. It's true authentic, no-nonsense bullshit New York type of place. New York City Guide said, "It's the type of place that Travis Bickel (Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver)  would go to. Good Diners, Burger Joints, and on the money Donut Shops are among our great treasures in this life, and Alpha Donuts is two of those. It's both a great Donut Shop and a Diner, serving satisfied customers good dam Coffee, yummy Donuts, and Breakfast around the clock (Open 24 Hours). And though the owner is Greek, he knows his business and he knows his customers, so her serves and awesome Full Irish Breakfast catering to the many Irish Immigrants living in the neighborhood of Sunnyside, Queens. "What more can anyone ask for?"

5 STAR REVIEWA

Brilliant... Let the good times roll

This is awesome eatery. Anytime of the day or night, we have called by many times and always a friendly welcome and great coffee and mouth watering food. This establishment is historical and should be preserved.

says James K.

Way more than donuts

What a great experience. I had been walking past this place for a month because I didn't want a donut. A dumb move. I finally learned there was food, and plenty of it, and I stopped in. As good a Greek omelet as I have ever had, and superb home fries. Coffee a cut above most diners. Friendly and competent employees who recognize you when you come back, and an expert grill man. And the ambiance! A throwback, in the best way. These places need to be patronized and saved. I will be back to eat my way through the menu. This is the kind of place that makes Sunnyside special.

.. says Tom N.

Good, classic diner. Great breakfast!

I travel often to NY and this is one of the spots that I MUST visit on every trip.
This is as classic as you can get when it comes to old-school donut shops and breakfast joints. Greasy flat-top grill, very old cash register and very friendly service. You just can't beat that.
The donuts are great, the breakfast portions are very adequate and the prices are very reasonable.
Give this little hole-in-the-wall a visit and hopefully you will like it as much as I do.

The company’s five other stores will be located in the Financial District, the Bronx near Fordham University, Harlem, and the Upper West Side. It’s the largest New York City expansion in more than a decade for the company, beloved nationally for its glazed donuts served right off the conveyor belt.

Mikes Subs Lake George New York

NEBA & MIKE'S SUBS

LAKE GEORGE

According to Mike Davis, creator of the NEBA chain, the arrival of fast-food roast beef sandwiches in the early 1960s was a sign of an upward-bound middle class able to afford its beef sliced rather than ground to bits. His sandwiches cost 69 cents as against the 15 or 20 cents for a chain burger.

Indeed, sliced beef was big. Despite being first into the beef sandwich market, by 1967 NEBA faced competition from Arby’s, Beef Corral, RoBee’s (soon to become Roy Rogers), Heap Big Beef (with its odd Indian theme), and others. Burger King and McDonald’s were testing roast beef in some of their units and Minnie Pearl’s was poised to add roast beef to its chicken menu.

Davis began his fast food career with submarine sandwiches, branching into roast beef in 1960 because it was easier to produce in quantity and not commonly found in chain restaurants. There are various ideas about where the odd name NEBA came from. Almost certainly it was not an abbreviation for “Never eat burgers again.” As strange as it sounds, it’s likely that NEBA was chosen because it was the name of a dog once owned by Davis, as he said in a 1969 interview. Another possible explanation is that it was named after the New England Beef Association. “Nicest Eating Beef Around,” sometimes used as an advertising slogan, may have been a back formation.

The first sandwich shops in the NEBA chain were in the Albany NY area, the company’s headquarters before moving to Hollywood FL. In 1965 a Mike’s Submarine and NEBA Roast Beef unit opened in Pittsfield, the first in Davis’s home state of Massachusetts. Franchised units eventually opened in Florida and southern states but the chain never made it to the West.

since his miserable childhood in which he earned up to $100 a week by organizing a crew of boys to deliver newspapers. Reportedly he used the money to pay rent and buy food for his brothers and sisters in an attempt to make up for parental neglect. Dropping out of school after 8th grade, he was apprehended for breaking into houses and stealing money in his teens and spent time in a reformatory. Described as “tight-lipped” and “compulsive,” he confessed he felt inhuman and never laughed.

The NEBA chain reached its peak in 1969 when there were 70 units in the U.S. Having sold the Canadian branch, Davis, 35, was said to be worth $15 or 20 million at that time. In 1970 he resigned as chairman a month before the corporation declared bankruptcy. With 400 units by then, Arby’s had become the competition-busting roast beef leader.

As late as the mid-1980s a few of the original NEBA sandwich shops, in upstate New York and Miami FL, remained in business under new owners.

I don’t know what happened to Davis after he left the company. I’d like to think he found some degree of happiness.

Popeyes Chicken Sandwich New York's Best Cheap Eats

The CHICKEN SANDWICH

From POPEYES

Yes the Chicken Sandwich From Popeyes, is with out question, in the year 2019, one of New York City's Best Cheap Eats deals of all. NewYorkFoodiee.com has C&L Dumplings as their Top # 1 Best Cheaps Eats deal in all of New York, and it would be hard to dispute that, with 5 Pork Dumplings that will set you back a meager $1.75 for the bunch. Pretty dam good.

Those Dumplings are pretty good, but are they tastier than the Chicken Sandwich from Popeyes? We think not. So if you factor in Quailty & Cost, as just opposed to cost, maybe Popeyes Chicken Sandwich has C&L Dumplings beat?

As most of you know the Chicken Sandwich from Popeyes is absolutely Badass and a Tatsy Giant Killer, as for many, they Chopped Down Chick-fil-A for being The King of The Chicken Sandwich, and having the Best Tasting one in the business (Fast Food America). "Not!" Not any more. Popeyes has dethroned Chick-fil-A for having America's Favorite Chicken Sandwich. And what a Chicken Sandwich it is. You get a whole boneless chicken breast that's perfectly cooked, Crisp, Crunchy, and as tasty as can be, served with a high-quality super-tasty toasted Brioche Bun, slathered with a bit of Mayonnaise, and 3 sliced of Dill Pickle, the combined results is one Dam Tasty Chicken Sandwich, that many say, is the tastiest Chicken Sandwich of all.

So, anyway, back to the Best Cheapest Cheap Eats in all of New York, though double the price, it's still Cheap at just $3.99 a sandwich, and the value for the quality of this fine sandwich, you just can't beat. We give the Chicken Sandwich from Popeyes our Top # 1 Cheap Eats Winner in New York, "We Love It!"

And so will You!
