I'm in town next week and was wondering what are some suggestions for good, not too expensive food in the Old Street/Shoreditch/Hackney areas, as well as more central. My first trip consisted of a 50 pounds a week budget so I wasn't really able to afford anyhing outside of the overly salted meat and daily rations of chips and vinegar.

This time I'm gladly willing to nourish myself properly and entertain a friend at the same time.

So out of touch... would be glad to hear some responses!
