Lots of cities have a stretch of road in a particular neighborhood that has amazingly good, inexpensive food. It's almost like the restaurateurs got together and planned to all gather in the same vicinity in order to pull in the the clientele. Here in Philly, Washington Avenue around the Italian Market is home to some of the best and cheapest food in town. Good Magazine is on to this trend and has traveled around the country, looking for the very best examples of these cheap and tasty strips. Sadly, my beloved Washington Ave. didn't make the list. However, if you live in Queens (Roosevelt Ave.), Houston (Travis Street), Seattle (Fremont Avenue North), Chicago (Broadway), Miami (SW 8th Street), Nashville (Nolanville Road) or Los Angeles (West Sunset Blvd.) you've been blessed with some good chow.
What's the strip in your town or city that you know you can head for without a reservation or much cash and still get a good meal?

Sadly, here in Phoenix most everything is spread out and there isn't really a single area.

In Minneapolis we have a long stretch of Nicollet Avenue called "Eat Street." It has lots and lots of Asian, Mexican, and Middle Eastern Food. Most of it is very cheap and it is all walkable from downtown.
