Calling all hip knowledgable people.
One of the determining factors that brought me from the loving arms of my fair hamlet in Maine to big, bad New York City was the ability to enjoy shows/exhibits/concerts/etc. Really soak in some culture, experience something new, all those other things you are supposed to do in this electric concrete pisshole jungle I love to love almost as much as I love to hate.
Obstacle: I am a graduate student. I work part time. Part time retail. You can rest assured any expendable cash I might have I either get on tap or on the rocks.
I want to learn what is both cheap and fun in the city. If Anyone has any suggestions they would be highly appreciated!
