Thrifty in the City: Bored and Broke!

I'm always amazed whenever I hear "I'm so bored!" from my residents.  Mostly because you all have so much work to do, but also because you live in NYC!  There are SO many things you can be doing.  Once I start making suggestions, then I hear the starving student mantra, "But I'm so broke."  Ok, well I have a cure for both.  It won't put anymore money in your pocket, but it certainly won't take any more out and you won't be bored EVER again.

Here is a google calendar that I created of all of the FREE nights, days, events, in the City.  Keep checking it as I'll constantly update it.  You can even add it to your own Google Calendar or iCal line up!

FYI, if you don't use Google Calendar you're seriously missing out, it's like the best thing ever and it's free... get with it people.

Thrifty in the City: Deal Shout Out

I am a deal junkie!  I never like to pay full price for anything!  Every morning over my cup of coffee, I read through all the Groupon like sites to see what awesome thing I can do, eat, or see for a fraction of the price. Sometimes I see great deals that I'll pass on to my residents.  Here's today's BEST deals that I think you would love!!

This place is amazing and it's close by, Lexington and 27th!  You can have dinner with all of your roommates for $8 a person!  That's crazy!
