Four Items One Soup for $5 at Jimmy’s House

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news


Cheap daytime meals are easy to find in New York. Diners still make eggs, toast and home fries for around four bucks. You can find enough change at the bottom of your bag to get a bagel and cream cheese. And for non-breakfast foods, there is nothing better than Asian lunch specials, where you get a giant entree and an appetizer for less than a six pack of a middle of the line beer. But there are fewer cheap dinner options, except at Jimmy’s House where the food gets cheaper as the day goes on.

Jimmy’s House is a tiny Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant. They’re pretty moderately priced, but their best deal lives in the steam table. All day, they serve a combo deal with a soup and food items of your choice. But after 7pm, you get four items and one soup for $5.

After years of denial, Kiley has finally admitted to baring a striking resemblance to Velma from Scooby Doo. Instead of traveling in a van hunting ghosts, she prefers wandering on foot in search of tacos, cheap beer, and fake birds. Growing up in Portland, Kiley enjoyed the balance of urban and green spaces. Then she spent her four years at Ithaca College, and found herself craving more sprawling asphalt in her life. So she moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where most of the buildings look like they're about to collapse. Kiley's favorite activities include: getting lost, crafting, sewing, biking, and geeking out at museums. Her love of taxidermy probably makes her a terrible vegetarian, but she doesn't care.
