Friday Estimate

Who’s ready for the weekend?

After last weekend’s trip upstate for a wedding (and with another big wedding coming up next month), I’m trying to reel in my spending for the next coming weeks.

This weekend, a friend who works for a food magazine may be dragging me to one of those hot-for-the-moment restaurants — the kind where you can’t make a reservation, and have to wait outside in a long line. I don’t mind waiting in line for dinner (brunch is another story — I love brunch, but I’d rather go to a diner than wait in line at a trendy restaurant for eggs and coffee), and will happily pay for good food.

Weekend estimate: $125 if dinner happens, $60 if it doesn’t
