Chapter 350: Opening

Woodhaven Street was becoming crowded, and the pungent scent of char in the air was being overtaken by the smell of cheap alcohol while the grease from synthetic meat wafted in the alcohol-laden air.

Although the food was cheap, the atmosphere on the site was surprisingly lively, and the diners were genuinely happy.

The reason was simple, in Night City 15% of the population earned less than 2,000 Euros a year, with a monthly income not exceeding 170 Euros, and more than half of these people were concentrated in Saint Domingo.

The cheapest food available on the market, like the Pink Tortilla XXL, cost 10 Euros per serving, which was more expensive than many bullets, and a bucket of fried chicken chunks from a fast-food restaurant would set you back upwards of 30 Euros.

Street food made from black market synthetic meat or other cheap ingredients might be a bit cheaper, but not by much.
