Where do you eat?? I visit the New York City area and find the food there very expensive compared to this area. Again, there are some places in New York City where the food is reasonable. If you work in the down town DC area and lunch in the restaurants assocaited with the hotels or other "coat and tie" places, it can be expensive.. I think many companies have headquarters and lobby offices here, so the food places cater to them... Everything on the expense account as business deductions?? . . . ..
