Off the top of my head - we will go to Chinatown and hit the dim sum joints, Hai La Moon - meal for two - less than 60 bucks - with tip.

MFA has days where the price is discounted and you can pay what you want.. https://www.mfa.org/visit/free-and-discounted-admission

Cheap shit is everywhere. All you gotta do is do a bit of digging to find it.

    Chinatown is gross. MFA discounted day is mobbed and miserable.

    I can also get free library passes to museums... but guess what, i'm not a cheap skate. I can afford to pay and I do.

    But acknowledging the prices of things isn't complaining about them, It's acknowledging them.

    LOL! I guess it's all realtive to what you've experienced of a place..

    Chinatown is fricking spic and span compared to what it used to be when it was the Combat Zone in the 70's and 80's and you could watch the whores strutting up and down the sidewalk in front of the Naked Eye Lounge - with it's neon eyeball sign blinking open between a pair of women's legs. Used to be an insanely great Pho restaurant across the street from that.
