Osha
It can be difficult to find affordable dining on the Upper East Side; even the corner stores are expensive. If you journey farther east past Lexington, you'll have much more affordable options, with no decrease in the quality of food. Try Osha, one of the Upper East Side's Thai haunts. While Osha lacks the modern decor of Daniel, you'll get away without a dent in your bank account; expect to pay less than $15 for a dinner entree, and to get a little more spice for the price.
