My daughter is going to NYU and hates institutional food, so we opted for a limited meal plan. To make up the difference, I came up with a great idea to make her a little reference book for dining well within her budget in her neighborhood. The same idea will work anywhere in Manhattan. I wrote a short article about how I did it at
Food Budget
She's already picking out meals and having fun with it. It will save us money and help her make friends in her dorm I think.
