And in those two hours you can cook lunch/dinner, make yourself coffee, learn a hobby. So extra savings or more relaxation.

That’s not true. But sure ok.

Have you heard of the McDonalds Index? How much McD’s costs in a country compared to other countries tells you about the wealth of the country. This is a real tool economists use.

Asking about beer prices isn’t the craziest thing. If Boston bars sell Bud light for $5 but you can get it in Worcester for $3 that tells you something about the Worcester economy.

OP, you don’t like fancy beer, so you probably will hate it, but treehouse brewing has amazing beer. Fantastic IPA’s but also great other beers. Would look at it

Hey op, for sushi I go to Kisoro. It’s nothing stellar or groundbreaking but it’s good. And the prices are great. And the teriyaki chicken over rice? Fantastic. I don’t like eating there but that’s usually where I order sushi.

Volturno’s is fantastic, only get pizza there Monday or Tuesday though.

Birch tree is good but pricey.

I live down the street from redemption rock. I actually don’t love all their beer which is sad. But the location does have great vibes and board games! Easy stuff like taboo and quelf, and more intense stuff like wingspan and Scythe.

For the best coffee, go to New Tradition. Yes there’s a barber shop right there and it’s an odd space but it’s fantastic. Best espresso I’ve had in Worcester AND they consistently do it well.

Amazing recs here. Just a note, volturnos does bogo on Monday and Tuesday. Takes the pizza from pricey, to a good deal.
