Steak 'n' Egg Kitchen (breakfast)
The most fun cheap breakfast in D.C. is at a greasy spoon called Steak 'n' Egg Kitchen. It's tiny--the biggest part is the sign out front--and it's staffed entirely by wrinkled old men. Sure, it's been shut down a few times for health code violations...but that's all in the past, right?

The American City Diner (diner)
FanTAStic. the place of choice to go at midnight when you need a milkshake, chili fries, or hot apple pie...in addition to being open late (24 hours, i think), it has tabletop jukeboxes and old movies on the porch at night (this week is Marilyn Monroe Week). Everyone loves it

Tallahassee, Florida
Bamboo House (food)
The best Chinese buffet in town (in the world? maybe). It's not one of those 800 options that suck places - they have just over a dozen dishes on the buffet and every one is worth tasting. Always a few good veg options, including some awesome orange tofu. Super friendly to freaks, weirdos, and the heavily pierced as well as more "normal" looking folks. They also have a menu, but only a few people order from it.
Cost: $7.94 for dinner buffet and beverage.

Mt. Everest (Nepalese) (food)
Skip this delicious restaurant for their expensive dinners but hit it up for all-you-can-eat $6.95 dessert-included veggie-friendly lunches. Yum! (doublecheck the veggie thing if it's a problem- i'm pretty sure, and they have a lot of vegetable-only dishes

Alt (cafe)
If you're in the Lower East Side/East Village, there's a cool coffee shop called Alt near Thompson Square Park. They have a shelf of free mixtapes that you can take, lots of reading material and computers (though they're kind of expensive). The people that work there aren't exactly outgoing or whatever, but it's the only non-yuppie place in the area."

821 Bakery Cafe (cafe)
The name is a bit deceiving, because they do not sell only baked goods. It's more of a diner. There are vegetarian and vegan items on the menu, and they probably serve the best french fries in Richmond. They're also sort of cheap

The Village Cafe (cafe)
From my experiences and what I've heard about the place, the Village is only good for getting coffee and soda, and supposedly their cheese calzones. The french fries are pretty gross, and most food has a taste of cigarette smoke to them. I haven't been to the Village in a year or two though, so I don't know if things have changed.

929 Cafe (cafe)
I also have not been here since it reopened, but it's both a restaurant and a show space. The restaurant is open until 5am or so on Fridays and Saturdays, and serves mostly vegetarian food, I believe. This place used to be known as Twisters, which was the local punk club. This is where most of the popular or quasi-popular punk-hardcore-indie-emo bands play, along with some local bands. I think lately, they've mostly been doing hardcore shows. At least, that's all I've seen advertised.
