Yes, things are more expensive here in NYC than any other continental place in the US. Watch any Red Lobster commercial and see that the special is not valid in Times Square and Hawaii.
How much is a Big Mac Value meal out over by you? By me it's almost $8, and then include tax.
Tangible goods, durable goods, those are more expensive if I buy them in NYC. I am lucky I have a car and I can drive out to where the prices are more favorable BUT I may have to travel to NJ and pay an $8 toll to get back into NYC, so my savings must be more than $10.
