We hear a lot about these other cities that have outrageous rents or whatever, but let’s not forget that NYC reigns supreme when it comes to expensive everything. It’s frustrating, but it also makes us feel bandit-rich whenever we go somewhere else. Plus, it’s totally possible to embrace the high life without the high costs.

In the words of Coco Chanel, “The best things in life are free. The second best things are very, very expensive.” With us, you don’t have to choose.
