We all spend way more, in life, than $1,000 on things a lot more boring and forgettable than a truly memorable and unique dinner.
Just a few thoughts that come immediately to mind.
Every time my wife and I go, or especially if we take a friend as well, to dinner at a place like Ducasse, Jean George, Gagnaire or L'Arpege I try to remember to point out that we are spending a very small part of our non-existent childs non-existent Harvard education on the meal.
