Research: The Traveler’s Best Friend - Frugal Traveler Blog - NYTimes.com: "My frugal travel tips:
1. Figure out where the students/faculty of a local college/university live/eat/drink.

2. Identify a good vegetarian restaurant not because of your dietary needs per se, but because you’ll probably glimpse some local color outside the tourist zone. It’s probably not too far from the University…

3. Find a local independent bookstore. Good for some chill time, people watching, a cup of coffee, and some good local recommendations from the store employees.

4. Look at the website for the local alternative weekly newspaper and read the best-of or the budget-guide issues. Most largish cities in the US have an alternative weekly newspaper."
