I’ve been looking for some sources to locate cheap eats in Manhattan and the site addyourown looks very promising. Any user can add a restaurant, so even the smallest, cheapest places that would never end up in a guide like Zagats are eligible to be listed. The site categorizes restaraunts by area and provides an interactive map to browse with.

When adding a restaurant, the site asks for name, cuisine type, entree price, address or corner, and phone number. I wish that it also asked for hours of operation, because that would be very useful here in the Financial District where so many things seem to shut down around 7pm.

Other cities covered by addyourown include Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Paris, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, and Washington, DC.
