My pals over at Giftly created unique Gift Ideas out of some of my favorite broke-ass spots, in both San Francisco and New York City.

As the London riots showed this summer, people can get pretty sick of being broke in one of the world’s most expensive cities (London’s 18th on the global list and more costly than anywhere in the US).

I’ll be using a new way of communicating while on the road it’s not Twitter, it’s not Facebook…it’s VMS – Video Messaging System.

You don’t find the hidden places by the sticking to the well-traveled routes. Skirt the tour buses, shoot past lines, and discover the best spots by asking the locals directly!
