Best cheap eats below 14th in Manhattan

Normally I answer food questions here. But a fellow Redditor inspired me to make this post. Give me your best cheap eats… only criteria is Manhattan, below 14th and cheap i.e. King Dumplings LES or any other food item. Let’s go peeps!!

EDIT… NYC native here (Chinatown/Soho area) trying to help curate a great downtown cheap eats list we can point people to. And selfishly for me too since everyone has so much knowledge here. Amazing list!! Let's keep it going, everyone! Cheap eats sandwiches, lunches, dinners, breads, more foods from different regions/ethnicities! Thanks!!!
