Most New Yorker's know that you can grab cheap drinks and free hot dogs just off of Times Square at Rudy's in Hell's Kitchen, but is it the best deal for cheap pub food in the City? Watch this short from the excellent Operation $5 Lunch series from Thrillist to find out.

You can always count on your local dive bar to have cheap eats, good beer, and to be charming in its own way. That's why on this episode of Operation $5 Lunch, Prez is taking you to one of the oldest and best dive bars in NYC -- Rudy's Bar & Grill in Hell's Kitchen.
