Leave room for a great meal.
Plan food spending around your priorities, with a few simple checks before you sit down.
If one special dinner is part of the trip, set that money aside first.
Pick your splurge
If one special dinner is part of the trip, set that money aside first. Keep the other meals flexible. An itinerary with every meal booked can be harder to enjoy than one with breathing room.
Read the current menu
Check menus on the restaurant’s own website, including service charges, minimums, and reservation terms. Do not assume a price in an older guide is still available.
Keep something simple nearby
Look for a convenient option near your hotel or your next activity. Convenience can be worth more than crossing the city for a small saving.
This is general planning guidance, not a current listing of prices or availability. Confirm venue rules, fees, and schedules directly before booking or visiting.
