The NY State museum is free, as for food I guess it depends on your tastes. There's a lot of good Italian and Indian food but also everything in between.

If you know the hotel you are staying at I can recommend stuff in walking distance. While we do have a good bus system (cdta.org) walking is easier. What type of food do you like? Or you really into beer? State museum is free (and the only museum I know of).

i live a block away from cardona's, its a very sweet deli! another place for good inexpensive food is café 217 (corner of delaware and jefferson). they keep odd hours, but it is SO worth it!

we only have one museum in town, so hit it up! you mentioned liking beer, try the lionheart or mahar's. they're both great beer bars. good luck with the interview, judging by yr name, is it for a position at O.W.C.A.?

Best restaurant in the area, hands down, is New World Bistro. It's not extremely wallet friendly, but it could be worse.

Just about all of these places will prepare you some great food for $10 or less:

Mexican: Bros Tacos on Ontario: delicious, cheap, sketchy college-ghetto neighborhood.

BBQ: Capital Q is right across the street from Bros. Get anything, make it a combo.

Italian: You can pretty much pick up a rock and hit a good restaurant with a light toss. The best ones seem to be along New Scotland or Delaware. If you want a great deli sandwich, Andy's on Delaware closes at 7pm, and one of their subs is basically two meals.

Chinese: A Dragon on Madison. If your budget is tight and you need valuable beer money, for like $4 or 5 you can order a student special, which is a small but filling portion of any given combo.

Beer: Mahar's at the corner of Western & Madison has literally hundreds of different beers. Only beer though, no wine or liquor. And it closes at midnight. And the seats fill up quickly. If the bar scene isn't your thing, almost all of their beers can be found at Oliver's on Colvin near Central

Pizza: Soho on Lark. Open til 4am. Paesan's and I Love NY Pizza never really impressed me, but Soho is always good.

Wings: Elbo Room on Delaware, or if you prefer something a little more addicting, Wings Over Albany's breading is half flour half MSG.
