Cheap Eats 2006

Reinventing itself with a new interior and new owners (it's now part of the Nicholas-Arabian Breeze family), the former Long Island Cafe still has the same consistent favorites on the Mediterranean and pizza menu. The exotic fumes and comfortable ambience make for the perfect escape from this downtown street on the MAX line. A slice goes for only $2.50, while the mezza platter ($8) serves an eclectic assortment of grape leaves, falafel, tabbouleh, tahini, hummus, baba ghanouj and savory pita. (LM)
