When we were first married I had a very stressful job at which I literally lived. On my night off, we'd go to a place called The New Yorker which was maybe half an hour from where I worked/lived. It was expensive....at least to us it was...we'd spend $100.00 for dinner. Could we have made it ourselves? Probably and just as good with some practice but it wasn't just the food we went for, it was the peace and quiet, the calm, the atmosphere. So yes, for us, it was worth every single penny....every time.
