Food scene
There are a lot of 2Bros pizzerias all over New York. If you want my advice for the New Yorkiest New York Slice, go to a 2bros. It's not the best pizza in the world, but It is the fastest food in the most impatient city in the world. You might not think a $1 goes very far in Manhattan, but 2bros will serve you a slice fresh out of the oven, made from scratch in house, within all of a few seconds of you passing the cashier a dollar.

Want cheap eats in New York? Your options are basically pizza and the food carts that dot the city's sidewalks. To be honest, the $5 chicken over rice you get from the cart operator will probably be better than most restaurant food.
Stay away from Halal Guys the chain though. They used to be good a long time ago. These days they're actually one of the worst tourist traps. Any random cart on the street will have a better combo over rice.
