Passage 5
Because there are so many different nationalities in America, visitors can find almost any kind of restaurant in most of the large cities. The telephone book lists restaurants for each city according to the name, area of the city, or kind of food. Restaurants in large cities vary greatly in price. Many restaurants post their menus in the window so you can have some idea of the price and kind of food before you enter. If the menu is not posted, and you are uncertain about how expensive the place is, ask to see a menu before you are seated at a table, or else just ask about the price range. Appearances from the outside can be misleading ---- what looks like a small, informal restaurant may really be very expensive, and what looks like large, expensive restaurants may be very reasonable.
You can get a meal for about $4 or $5 or slightly more if you eat in snack bars (快餐店) or coffee shops, but in most city restaurants you should expect to pay $8 to $10 a person for dinner, with alcoholic drinks and wine extra. Price in New York City are even higher.
