Astor is, by far, the best place for inexpensive haircuts in the city. I have had expensive cuts in NY that are not nearly as good as this place. Ask for Jose, he does a great job and is a really nice guy too, always taking special care to do it right and make sure it is perfect. I still can't believe they only charge $17 for a man's haircut... it can get crowded in there so if you have your favorite haircutter you should call to make sure you can drop by at a good time.
