Those who really understand where to shop for quality on a dime-budget while living in NYC go to Russo's. Here you can find cheap, yet delectably fresh pasta and mountains of fresh mozzarella. The lobster ravioli and fresh anchovies are two items that also make sure locals return. Since 1908, the proprietors have delighted folks in this section of 11th St. and the amount of selection is only rivaled by Alleva's or Raffeto's. One added benefit is that right next door, you'll find the venerable Veniero's where you can find something sweet. On your way out of this shop, don't forget to grab a couple of marinated artichokes for the road!
