I love New York, and I love being a cheapskate.

Some of his suggestions are less ethical than others...

Okay, so hardly a book (per se) but, I did read it for the curiosity factor. Having just moved here, it adds more fun to the adventuring & discovering one can have in this great city.
Fav. highlights:
-Getting into theaters for free
-Hooking up w/ neighborhood locals to get a tour of the area
+More art venues

I bought this as a gift for a cousin's graduation before he moves on to NYU and I sat down and quickly read it before mailing it off. It's decent and gives you exactly what it promises on the title. If I lived in NYC, I'd probably keep a copy of this laying around somewhere.
