Extravagant? Two people can barely get out of Applebee’s on Times Square for $200.

For real? Thanks!

Get tickets to the hopper exhibit at the Whitney, walk on the high-line. Go do Chinatown and get soup dumplings at supreme restaurant. It’s a dive but the food is great and inexpensive. Cash only.

Why even go to nyc if this is the mentality you have about eating there. Save your money and eat your packed lunch at Eagle Rock Reservation lol

I'm all for packed lunches but most people came into this question thinking you were aiming to show this person extravagance or to impress them. Packed lunches is the anti thesis of extravagance.

But on the right person it might work if you pack a nice lunch. But not like hey I brought you a bologna sandwich.

Home to Source, one of the worst breweries in the state!

Yeah budy don't be judgy

Yup this is by far your best option.

You are gonna bring a packed lunch to a date?

I don’t know if you were technically incorrect. I lived there during 9/11, and I think proportionally it was mentioned as having a higher ‘rate.’ I had thought it was a few more than 5, but I suppose some may have technically had a different residence officially. This was In terms of how many people died in terms of the towns population, and not the actual number or anything. I only say it because this wasn’t the first time I’ve heard this, so it must’ve been said somewhere.

Fuck dinner tbh. It's such a rip off why am I paying so much for some cheap looking stuff. Lol. I'm packing a lunch. I don't want that lead water chicken breast.

You can find broadway tickets for cheapish… but you’re not getting dinner or anything afterwards…

It's better to have asked and said no than to not have known at all, thank you kind stranger. Wish i had a medal to give you. Here🥇

Yea man it’s not gonna happen. Sorry to tell you.

Going through this site hurts my soul

No I'm not trying to impress this girl with my money I thought that's how much you needed to spend I don't know lol

A lot of museum entries are suggested donations, free for NJ residents. The Museum of Natural History is right on Central Park West. Since both are free, that $200 could be used for a great dinner.

Some of the museums are free. Like Museum of Natural History is just asking for a suggested donation, you could say $0 and they’ll still let you in. Although I guess that could make you seem like a cheapo on a date.

Bryant Park has a winter village going on.

Well obviously I'm going to rent bikes and go to Grand Central station but I wanted to show her something fun like something up to pay for that's in the budget of $200. I'm open it cheaper too you know I'm going on vacation next week for 3 weeks i need to save money....

Museums and then a semi expensive restaurant.

global shipping never went away Brother

You've got to be kidding.

Maybe a romantic walk through Central Park and a hotdog at a stand?

I always presume it's gonna cost me $100, minimum, just to get in and out of NYC in one piece.

I say that because who knows what is going to happen with NJ. Global shipping is coming back, the port of NJ/NY is a huge oil hub, we are having an increase in cetaceans, which could be caused by a number of factors, and more.

Also I wouldn't put it past us having overfished it a bit consdiering people from Maine to Virginia have been fishin these waters for the past several hundre years.
