$9 for a loaf of bread in Tokyo? $2,100 for a dinner bill in Paris? To see which cities are the most expensive for employees and travelers, the Economist looked at the prices -- in U.S. dollars -- of everyday items in cities worldwide.

Loaf of bread: $8.95
Liter of milk: $2.55
Pack of brand-name cigarettes: $8.10
High-end 3-course dinner for four, with wine: $2,177.22
