FORGET THE "IT" BAG OR THE "IT" GIRL. THE NEW "IT" IS NOT HAVING "IT" AT ALL. THAT'S RIGHT MY FELLOW NEW YORKERS AND FRIENDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, UNEMPLOYMENT IS IN.

Dollar Menus

Believe it or not, even hipsters need to eat.

While the East Village is trading in smoke-shops for Starbucks and vintage stores for Urban Outfitters, some neighborhood dives remain the same: cheap, dirty and fabulous.

Joshua Bernstein went on a scavenger hunt below 14th Steet to find food for $1 or less, and he proved that you can still eat on the cheap in NYC. Here's what on the dollar menu of the East Village:

$1 slices, $1 sweets, $1 Obama coffee , 0.99 cent samosas, 0.99 cent fries, 0.75 cent bagels, and to wash it all down with: $1 beer.

If you can get over the graffiti store fronts, drunk man in the corner booth and hand-written menus, it will be a dollar well spent. And you don't have to go to McDonald's. I'm lovin' that.
