In NYC, but honestly I'd do this in any big US city.
I never cook in. I eat out every meal but that isn't really a problem. I eat cheap shit usually like bagels, sandwiches, pizza. Almost never go to a trendy expensive restaurant. Haven't spend more than 15 bucks on a meal in ages, maybe 1-2 times in the last three months.
I drink a lot though. At home mostly. Out I try not to go crazy but I've had some bad weekends where I've blown 250 plus.
I'm thikning this is pretty normal for ppl in big cities who go out a lot.

no, i did it once cause i saw all these blogs flaring up about eating on a dollar a day and was curious whether I could do it. Course I pussied out and it was more like $1.25-$1.50 a day. I just ate alot of potatoes, beans and rice, ramen, bread, and frozen burritos. It wasn't fun, but interesting.
Admittedly, I live in a low COL area.

We spend $700/mo on groceries for two and we eat flounder-type fish, steak and organic chicken at least one dinner a week each, plus buy organic milk and eggs, a decent amount of organic produce, etc.
One thing that helps is to reduce portions, e.g. my wife and I will split a decent sized steak that I could hypothetically finish myself but I'm fine eating less of.
Another thing is good inventory control -- develop a repertoire of dishes you can make quickly and easily, think about the week ahead in advance, and keep the things you know you'll use stocked. E.g. we buy our fish at costco, buy a big-ass thing of fillets and freeze most of them in individual baggies. Easy to just take one out, defrost in water and broil or bake with some simple herbs/spices. Don't buy lots of one-off impulse snacks and don't cook elaborate meals with lots of exotic ingredients on a regular basis. Pay attention to how much of stuff like produce and eggs and milk you actually use in a week and buy accordingly.

this honestly doesn't seem like that much how often do you go out for drinks?
i spend roughly this (well about 150 less, i spend about that much if you include spending on gas) in a much cheaper city
