living in nyc is expensive ... but here's how I stay budget- conscious, without sacrificing meals and drinks out COFFEE WITH FRIENDS!! big fan - I can catch up with friends 3x a week over coffee/ pastries for the same price as one dinner will cost me happy hour is my best friend ... apps/drinks are usually under $15 before 6pm at a happy hour spot SITDOWN WEEKDAY LUNCHES I've been finding great weekday lunch menus at sitdown restaurants that will cost me about the same as the popular to- go salad spots PIZZA>DOORDASH grabbing a slice on my way home instead of ordering a full meal past 11pm will always win & I allow myself to indulge in celebrations and experiences ... it's so important to not feel restrictive and skip out on memories in order to stay budget (and ideally I've budgeted for those separately )
