Cost Rating Legend

In each post, we try to include an estimated cost for the meal or activity. If it’s for a meal, we include the entree and a non-alcoholic drink for each person in the estimate, but do not include tax or gratuity.

$          Less than $15

$$        $16-$30

$$$      $31-$50

$$$$    $50 or more

These are somewhat arbitrary rankings and, where possible, we will provide the current cost at the time of publication.
