Have you given up on your bikini body already? We have.
Who has time for diets and exercise when there are delicious, cheap, outdoor eats in the outer boroughs? Essentially, ain't nobody got time for that.
When you're in the mood to soak up some sun while catching a meal, you don't spend top dollar for underwhelming food just to sit outdoors.
Head out to some of these spots for some of the best, outdoor, budget friendly meals in the outer boroughs.
Of course, if you're just not going to leave Manhattan for anything, there's these. But you should be bolder with your food. Get out of Manhattan.
Here are our favorite outer borough spots:
Yo-Burger (3726 Riverside Avenue - the Bronx)
When you're in the mood for a delicious burger and fries, don't spend $8.09 for a double cheeseburger from Shake Shack. Head to Yo-Burger instead for a delicious double cheeseburger under $7. Add fries, and you still have a hefty, delicious meal for under $10.
