Why pay that hefty fee to see the Statue of Liberty up close when you can do it for free? Why shell out good money for a happy-hour hamburger when zero is your preferred price? Of course, some things in New York are worth paying for — like the city’s tastiest street food, or the smoothies from that little-known bicycle-powered smoothie machine in Brooklyn. These are just a few of the treats this book reveals for the “young, broke, and beautiful” crowd. Based on the underground hit and "Best Local Zine" (San Francisco Bay Guardian), Broke-Ass Stuart's Guide to Living Cheaply in New York gives the low-down on the best of the Big Apple’s cheap eats, drinks, buys, and more in the witty, gritty, anecdotal style that made the zine on which the series is based an underground smash.

This gritty guide shows both locals of and visitors to San Francisco what to do and where to stay, eat, and drink without breaking the bank. Cult fave Broke-Ass Stuart uncovers the city's secrets for the young, the beautiful, and the broke. They range from free Saturday BBQs every summer; to happy hours that up the ante to two-for-one; and even to the elusive Tamale Lady, who usually finds her customers rather than vice versa. Stuart thoughtfully includes photos and maps.
