Broke-Ass Health Care: Cold/Flu Season

The Thing Screening at New York Society For Ethical Culture Tonight

Can you believe that there are three versions of this movie?

John Carpenter’s interpretation from 1982 still remains the version I prefer.

Broke-Ass Music: Subway Mixes

One of the first bits of advice I received upon moving to NYC was to get noise canceling headphones/earbuds for the subway and to always have music playing in them. This, of course, was already a given for me because I don’t really do much without a constant soundtrack playing.

NEW! One Stop Beer Shop

Upon arriving to One Stop Beer Shop’s grand opening, I was welcomed by the warm scent of fresh popcorn, dim lights powered by Edison light bulbs and a friendly staff. It’s perfect for a place that prides itself in being a warm community bar. Three growler machines The One Stop

Broke-Ass Culture: NYPL

So I’m still new here. I’m also jobless (and actively looking for work), which means I have a lot of time on my hands to explore the city. My current favorite place (which I don’t think will change for as long as I live here) is the main branch of
