There are so many new restaurants, bars, places to hang, etc... that it can be overwhelming. Not only that, it's expensive to go out and rolling the dice on a shitty dinner just isn't worth it anymore. I have about 1/2 dozen spots I love and there more or less the only places I eat. Not only do I know I'll get a fantastic meal, but I know my money is going to buds & places that I want to stay open.
