Sure it's a cliche, but somewhat true: Every time I walk out my door, Gotham manages to make me $100 poorer. Okay, so some days it's $20, some days $4, some days $233.65. But I don't know how the city can act like such a money suck. Here's a tally of the Rabbit, Prince and my day yesterday: Ratatouille : $28 (2 adult tix, one child) Bagels/coffee/choc milk before: $20.65 Popcorn (SOOO necessary) $5 Apple store (not an iPhone and NOT drooling over it) $88 Cab home: $9 Drinks for friend's birthday: $43 Babysitter: $40 Tally: $233.65 Granted, it was a Sunday. Granted some Sundays are spent in the park with bags of grapes, cups of coffee, a $1 bottle of bubbles and the paper. But then there are those Sundays where money hoovers from our pockets. Makes me seriously long for an afternoon with just a book, some water and sunscreen for The Rabbit on the beach that it would cost us just $3000 to get to in Mexico .
Sublime stuff from New York and Dubai
