Highly recommend for any young tightwad (like myself) traveling, living, studying in NYC…

It may be a bit hard to find in bookstores, but Amazon.com has copies.

It includes tips for getting into shows and museums for free, finding cheap eats, drinks, and outdoor action in the city. You might find yourself occasionally confused, but you’ll definitely laugh out loud as you read. It may not be complete, but it’s a great start and cheap to boot.

A couple spots Jean Tang missed:

Unoppressive, Non-Imperialist Bargain Books on Carmine St where you can find classic novels, yoga guides and erotica all in the same place. They even have travelguides as cheap as $2.

Mahmoun’s Falafel on MacDougal St where you can get delicious, and arguably nutritious fastfood in a pita for $2.

Thanks, Corey, I’m glad you enjoy my site. I’d never actually heard that term before, though I did get a comment like that once before, but not as vicious. I thought I’d also mention, I’ll hopefully have some photos up soon. I recently bought a mac (and am now killing myself trying to figure out how to work it… I’m a PC person). But hopefully I’ll figure it out soon and be able to post again. I have a few stories yet to tell.
