Spend Less and See More in New York City: Are You Ready to Travel Smart?

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 for more!

Review

"Not going on vacation this year? Give your child an outdoors experience by looking for this, or any of the Adventures with the Parkers books.
Author Mike Graf is a self-professed "national park fanatic" who spends his time exploring our country's parks. Because of his first-hand knowledge, his series are filled with true-life facts, authentic history, places you can really visit and photographs, all wrapped within a story that kids can relate to.

If you happen to be going to Great Smoky Mountains National Park this summer, this book will thrill your 7-to-11-year-old. If you're going elsewhere or not going at all, grab it anyhow and hand it to your adventuresome kid. "Ridge Runner Rescue" is so much fun, it will have your child parked in one spot for hours." --Savannah Morning News, April 2009

"You seriously need every one of these series in your library, no matter which national park you are near." --School Library Journal, June 2009 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
