The Most Expensive City in the U.S. to Go on a Date

Trending News: It’ll Cost You A Lot of Money to Date in This City

Congrats, you have a big date planned to the swankiest restaurant in town! But wait... can you even afford it?

Taking someone out for even a classic dinner and movie date has never been pricier, especially in New York City where the average date will run you $155.78. According to data reviewed by tuxedo rental site The Black Tux, the price for two rideshares, dinner for two, a tip, two movie tickets and a couple of drinks at the bar in the Big Apple is the most expensive in the country. San Francisco and San Jose follow close behind NYC where the average night out can run you $144.94 and $141.55, respectively.

Rounding out the top 10 for most expensive cities in the U.S. for a date are Seattle, Miami, Washington, Los Angeles, Boston, Sacramento, and San Diego.

Sure, opting for a cute walk on the beach, a picnic lunch, or even Netflix and chilling can save you money, but where’s the fun in that? If you’re really trying to budget, you could always go on that same classic dinner and movie date in a place like Oklahoma City for nearly half the price. The Black Tux calculates that Oklahoma City is the cheapest place for a date in the country, followed by Milwaukee and Richmond, Virginia. In those cities, a couple of ride shares, a bite to eat, tip, a film and a couple of beverages costs between $87.85, $95 and $97.96, respectively.

Other less expensive cities include Cincinnati, Charlotte, Orlando, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, Cleveland, and Columbus.

If you’re wondering where exactly The Black Tux pulled its numbers from, they tallied the average time of a rideshare and added prices for the dinner, movie tickets, and alcoholic beverages from Expatistan.

Dates don’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. At the end of the day, just spend what you can. That, or you can just get a free cocktail from a dating app.
