Thanks Jillian!
So that's N.America Portland Chicago Boston Tucson Phoenix San Diego Europe Zürich Antwerp Asia Manila North America heavy, but I guess that's what most BnA posters are really familiar with. I can attempt to do Paris when I go in November, but I don't know how Insider I can get as a 1st time visitor. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "It was the most efficient campaign I have seen in my 20 years in politics." -- Sam Burrell, alderman of Chicago's West Side 29th Ward, on the phenomeal Project Vote! voter drive of 1992 which was responsible for adding 150,000 black voters to the Chicago rolls.

I'll do what I can for Amsterdam, though I'm still finding all these myself. I could probably do Detroit, too... but I'm quite certain the demand for that would be nil

Or you could singlehandedly jumpstart a new wave of backpackers hitting Detroit. Or... ah just focus on A'dam.

PS to all:
I encourage cheating. Which means getting other people to send you info, or ripping off of your local listing of cheap eats -- just try to check it out first before you recommend, or if a friend has raved about it to you so you know that cozy little recommend is not actually an overpriced dump. A lot of my own "research" was done by reading up on other listings and stealing stuff -- though I've been to almost everything I listed for NYC (note the "almost", some of it I recommended because of word of mouth). * Later edit -- on second thought, I've only been to about half the stuff I listed. * Whatever makes it easy, I say. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "It was the most efficient campaign I have seen in my 20 years in politics." -- Sam Burrell, alderman of Chicago's West Side 29th Ward, on the phenomeal Project Vote! voter drive of 1992 which was responsible for adding 150,000 black voters to the Chicago rolls.

*CRACK!*
(that was my e-whip snapping in the air) Ok, so maybe loosey-goosey is too loosey.... If you volunteered, please start a post for your place today or by the end of the day tomorrow, even if you don't have info. It will be incentive to fill in your blanks & encourage people to post their own tips for that city/place. Suggested Guidelines: - Start your post (in the right Destination Forum) as "Cheap and Free (City Name Here)" - Make a bunch of separate posts with just the category in bold. Don't worry about posting anything in them just yet, you can modify your post later, it's just a placeholder at the top of the post. Some suggestions: • Transport to/from the Airport • Eats • Drinks • Lodging • Entertainment (Year Round) • Entertainment (Seasonal) (because many places have more free outside type events during one part of the year) • Miscellaneous It doesn't matter if you don't have a lot to post. If you just want to do Eats, Drinks, and Lodging, that's ok too, it will just get the threads going and other people will have their own tips to add on.

Yea, i was thinking mine would be better off as a single post in a "Cheap-n-Free" thread rather than alone. It will get lost in the clutter.
London seems like a prime target, too. ______________________________________________________________________ "You weren't half as weird as I expected." -- skobb |

Oh hell yeah! Definitely ms CG.

I'm going to make sticky "table of contents" pages in each destination forum for the time being; we might end up doing something else with these, but for the time being, I don't want to lose the ones that have been done.
As more get written, please let me know (send me a PM or an email) and I'll add them to the "table of contents" posts. I totally love the "Cheap & Free City Guides" idea, and all those who have taken part! |

I should be able to toss one together for Denver, or I can just do one for the "front range" (Colorado Springs to Fort Collins)
