The food malls of Flushing are legendary: a wonderland of cheap, authentic, down-and-dirty Chinese food accessible only to those who know the language and are willing to put just about anything in their mouth. It's a daunting experience, but in recent years, as the number of malls has increased, more and more intrepid eaters are hopping on the 7 train to explore the wilds for themselves. Not sure where to start? Though it's by no means exhaustive, here's a look at the tip of the iceberg.

The Five Best NYC Foods For $1
There's plenty of expensive food in this town, but there's also plenty of cheap eats, if you know where to look. Like, really cheap eats—in the one dollar range, which you should be able to scrounge up with a minimum of desperation determination (friend of Gothamist Josh Bernstein does it all the time!).

Start combing those couch cushions for extra change.
A Guide To Filipino Food Around The City
Many of our Ethnic Eating Adventures have taken place in the outer boroughs.

For those who can't tell a sinigang from a sisig, here's where to start.
