If you'd like to get the most out of your dollar and your
trip, this is
the guide for you. I put a fresh spin on budget travel,
showing you how
to see the best for less and how to see it in a more
authentic way—the
way the locals do.
Instead of spending $300 a night
for a
chain hotel, why not live it up in an antiques-filled Fifth
Avenue
mansion for just $75, or bed down in a SoHo gallery just
steps from the
artwork for $110?
Or how about enjoying falafel at
Alfanoose
for just $5, so you can splurge on up-and-coming chef Abdhul
Traore's
steak frites dusted with African herbs at Les Enfants
Terribles?
Let me show you the "other" New York City—the one only
insiders know
about. Take a one-day cooking class with the city's top
chefs or get
free tango lessons at the Argentine Consulate. These are
only a few of
the great ways to get closer to the culture of New York
City. Read on
