I can't believe Sacramento is in the top three. And I don't know about anyone else - but we're only 3 higher on the list than New York City - and I've been there a few times - and unless you're eating hot dogs from a street vendor - you are spending LOTS more just for dinner alone - not to include anything else.
Interesting for sure!

Regarding eating in NYC, maybe they didn't add any tomatoes on their burgers <g>. Also they probably didn't add ICE to their drinks, which is extra too. You order "the works" on your food, any food and NYC jumps 5 or 6 places !!! <vbg></vbg></g>
