    Took my wife out for almost this exact date last weekend. Dinner was $45/ea for the main, $9/ea for drinks. Plus tip. Local live theater show was $40/ea. Skipped snacks because we were full from dinner. All-in, the night was just over $200.

      Yeah it’s typically 30-40 main and 15 per drink for me as well but with kids we rarely go out so that’s a splurge. Also didn’t include child care but since this was primarily about singles I didn’t think it was as relevant. Parking also isn’t free a lot of the time and that could be another 10-40+depending on the city and events going on.

      Man life is too expensive.

        I lived in New York about twenty years ago, and there used to be a bar on St. Marks that would serve a Miller Lite and a shot of bourbon for $8. It was just about my favorite spot in the city.
