My husband and I were there in February and had always heard about how cheap you could eat there but we were shocked at what it cost to eat. We found one place that was reasonable called Ellis Island and it's not too far from Paris. We stayed at Bally's which is right next door to Paris and we walked to Ellis Island. We were there for a convention and didn't have a lot of free time to explore. We heard there were some good buffets but I don't know where they were. No fast food joints within walking distance that we ever saw. There is a 7 Eleven next to Ellis Island where you can get snacks.
Oh, the Eiffel Tower after dark is a must!
