Got a hankering for a cheap night out with that special someone?
Well, the national capital region is as good as any and better than most, according to the Deutsche Bank’s annual ‘Random Walk’, Mapping the World’s Prices annual study.
According to the megabank, a couple of McDonald’s burgers, two movie tickets, pop, and a ‘couple of beers’ would set you back $71.90 U.S. in Ottawa in 2014. There’s no mention of popcorn and they’re not too specific about the type or origins of the beer; they’re definitely not counting the pricey offerings at some of the speciality brasseries or the Canadian Tire Centre.
The only other Canadian city measured in this category was, of course, Toronto, where the same fun evening would’ve cost $76. Plus, or minus, you would’ve been in Toronto, for better or worse.
These tallies were 80 and 85 per cent as expensive as New York — the base measure — to have a cheap date.
Ottawa’s date price was up about 25 cents from 2013, but Toronto’s night out was $91.20 in 2013.
The Canadian prices were about the middle of the pack of 31 world centres in the report, with a high of $104.80 for the evening out in Berlin and a low of $23 in Mumbai.
The well-respected Deutsche Bank report specializes in high-minded metrics like “affordability” and gas prices, but say that liveability measurements are also of value.
