While you should always take into account taxes and cost of living
(and these things can be high in NYC), at least a couple of your
figures are quite exaggerated: taxi fares are fixed at $2.50 + $0.40/
(quarter mile or 60 seconds)[1] and I've had many filling meals at
restaurants in Manhattan for much less that $30.
