Of course, there are more expensive places to blow cash other than Boston nightlife.
Topping the list is none other than New York City. The Big Apple isn’t just about big dreams but also big prices. A single cocktail can cost you a whopping $21. Add a $10 beer and $13 combo meal to your night, plus $2.17 per kilometer for a taxi, and your night out is a serious investment.
Washington, D.C.: Pricy Politics
Coming in second is Washington, D.C. The capital city may be where laws are made, but it’s also where your money flies out of your pocket. Taxi fares here are $2.49 per kilometer. Cocktails are a bit more reasonable at $16, but beer and combo meals are just slightly cheaper than NYC.
