NEW YORK--(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Jan 13, 2004--Cash-strapped students in Manhattan have always been like kids in a seriously overpriced candy store: they can look but never touch. But now, thanks to a new book, HOW TO LIVE BIG IN MANHATTAN WITHOUT GOING BROKE: The Ultimate Insider`s Guide to Life and Fun for Less in NYC (CityWise Guides; Fall 2003; $14.95; ISBN: 0-9729554-1-0), even the most financially-challenged undergrad and grad students can make the most of what New York City has to offer.
This fun and witty city guide is expertly researched and chock full of insider tips that show students on a limited budget how to do the things they`ve always wanted to do -- for far less money and with much less hassle. It`s also a great guide for students planning on visiting NYC who want to get the most out of their trip.
HOW TO LIVE BIG IN MANHATTAN WITHOUT GOING BROKE provides great insights on New York nightlife, showing the reader how to drink for free all over town and revealing hundreds of great places most New York guidebook writers have never heard of. With extensive sections on real estate, entertainment, shopping, and food, the book reveals how to find a great apartment for less than $1000, get Broadway tickets for under $4, buy designer samples on serious sale, and eat (nearly) free for an entire week! And readers needn`t worry about eating too much free food as they�ll also learn how to work out in style for under $65 a year.
A must-read for all students in the NYC-area, newcomers, long-term residents, this indispensable guide covers everything from how to put together an authentic Soprano`s party to how to design and create a Madison Avenue couture shirt for under $40. Weekend and day trippers will learn how to get to (or from) Boston or DC for under $20 and how to kayak out through the Hudson`s shipping lanes into Lady Liberty�s shadow (for free, of course!).
HOW TO LIVE BIG IN MANHATTAN WITHOUT GOING BROKE also reveals how to bypass the lines at TKTS, gain admittance to the city`s top clubs for free, snare tickets to Letterman in a hurry, and how to get those elusive $10 Knicks tickets! And readers won`t have to break open the piggy bank to learn the ropes � the 296 page guide is only $14.95.
The idea for the book took seed when one Manhattanite went from living on a six-figure income to $19,000 a year and never missed a beat. When CityWise Editor and Columbia Business School student Joshua Silberstein asked him how he did it, he said with a grin: ''It`s easy if you know how.'' Silberstein thought that lots of people would be interested in knowing the secret � and HOW TO LIVE BIG IN MANHATTAN WITHOUT GOING BROKE was born.
HOW TO LIVE BIG IN MANHATTAN WITHOUT GOING BROKE can be ordered on-line at www.citywiseguides.com. Students can save $3.00 by using promotional code Student2. HOW TO LIVE BIG IN MANHATTAN WITHOUT GOING BROKE is also available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and selected other retailers.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS: This book compiles the vast expertise of seven professional authors, each a specialist in a different area of New York living. Irreverent and occasionally heretical, this group of savants is currently under intense study by the CIA.
