A coke and a cup of coffee cost me about $10 at a little cafe by Sacre Coeur.

High overhead for a premium location no doubt played a part. You
could have the same experience in almost any large city. I've had
more than a few hotel breakfasts in London that cost over $30.
Manhattan and San Francisco can be just about as pricey.

True, but it still hurt. Also, a cheap McDonald's was right around $5, and that was off the main
drags.



The Sunday brunch buffet at the Royal Hawaiian was more than $60 a
person the last time we were there, probably more now. It's a fabulous
feed but twice as expensive as it should be. A very similar full
breakfast buffet in an outdoor setting at an adjacent but far less fancy
setting was $22.

I had breakfast/brunch last week at a hotel near Capitol Hill. He paid.
The breakfast was $32 each and it wasn't fancy.
