ABOUT THE AUTHOR

When I moved to The City in 1998, I was so broke I couldn?t pay attention. I had no choice but to seek out all that?s great and free. Now, as a travel writer I'm still broke, and I?m also the father of 3 kids. I have no choice but to get creative to stretch my travel dollars. I believe that the less you spend on travel, the more you experience. Even in New York, you can have a great cultural experience without paying through the nose.[more]
