Idk tho. I’ve lived in NYC all my life. I’m 40.

Maybe it’s because I’m a woman and I get drinks bought for me a lot but I’ve never spent anything close to $100 on a night out

Not maybe, definitely.

I am not sure what your definition is either, but it has "tons of diversity" to me.

The people who live in the loop/north loop are a small fraction of the people actually there at any given time

We're talking about Diversey and Clark, not the loop.

Uptown is North Side and has plenty of diversity. Not uncommon to hear many different languages being spoken while walking around the neighborhood. The area has experienced a lot of construction with quite a few projects in the pipeline. It has a big city urban feel with mid and high-rises, historic architecture, entertainment, parks and a popular beach. Someone from New York seeking culture, urbanity and scale would probably appreciate what it offers. Prices are very affordable as well.

Got dinner, drinks, club (3 drinks), Uber back to hotel in DC was $87 for me w/ a 20% tip.

In Boston, got grub at Artu and a drink, then went to the bar afterwards and took the T home. I tipped the bartender $15 on a $14.75 check, $90 in total that night.

In Hoboken got dinner ($35, with a drink and tip) then went to the club and spent 40 on a lot of drinks. $90 that night because I got a pastry and slept in JC.

Spending over $100 on a night out on the town is dumb. My friend from Chelsea Manhattan brings $20 to the bar on Friday's and doesn't go over that.

In syracuse I ate a fairly upscale restaurant and spent like $30 all together. Then went to a bar and spent $12 on 3 drinks and tip. Soo

Syracuse has extremely cheap drinks. $2 drink specials are the norm at 21-29 yr old bars. Pre Covid

Actually most of Upstate does. Gotta know where to go. SUNY and College towns save money. Big time. Even for the older crowd
