Cheap NYC Dates

Best Place for a Cheap But Impressive Date  "Great Hall Balcony Bar OK, $10 is the Met's suggested admission price. So leave the power of suggestion to the tourists, fork over your $2, and lead your date up to the Great Hall Balcony Bar. Grab a cozy table, order some drinks ($3-$8 each), delve into the gratis (but delicious) crunchy munchies and let the chamber ensemble soothe you into museum tempo. Thus fortified, you will now be in the mood to wander amid 10 millennia of world culture and truly appreciate the quiet, stunning beauty of an oxblood-glazed Qing dynasty porcelain vase or a Terry Winters canvas fresh from Chelsea. (For the artistically challenged, there's always Arms and Armor or the mummies.)...."

Best $5 Per Person Date "... Thursday nights are Harold nights at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater—two teams of the comedy troupe's apprentices doing half-hour group improvisations on random topics, based on a set of rules invented by Second City's Del Close. The Harold is usually hilarious; it's cheap, it's intimate, and by its nature it'll give you some shared in-jokes for later... "
