The emergence of summer means many things, one of which is lots of free activities. Summer in NYC is filled with many a bargain pleasure, including free outdoor kayaking, movies, concert series and physical activities. So instead of just focusing on our past stories, we decided to spotlight a few other sites as well that focus on free and budget living information. A few of our favorite posts are below.
With summer on the upswing, New Yorkers are preparing themselves for weekends full of lazy outdoor afternoons, trips to the parks and beaches, intramural sports and hopefully some summer Fridays (crossed fingers). But the most important thing about summertime is that it’s the best season to save money since free things like outdoor concerts and street festivals pop up almost every weekend. Ah, New York in the summertime.
Spring has finally sprung. Well, almost. And to kick it off, we’ve once again picked out our favorite and most popular posts from LifeStyler and some other intriguing blogs and websites ’round the web for our March Monthly Mashup.
It’s been seven months since we gave birth to the shiny new creation that is LifeStyler. As we trek further down the road looking back on the happenings of the past month — whether it was delving into Obama’s new stimulus plan, tips on surviving in NYC’s harsh employment landscape, or fun, free weekend ideas — our mission stays the same: to keep bringing smart, pertinent and helpful information about lifestyle and personal finance to the young and ambitious in NY. And in true LifeStyler tradition, here are some of our Editor’s story picks from February’s harvest.
December brought with it cold, bitter weather, lots of face time with families and, which you may have noticed, a distinct lack of posting. And for that, dear readers, we sincerely apologize. But not being ones to focus on the past, 2009 is here with a bang! And with this new year comes a whole truckload of ideas that our staff is working to implement for your guys. This means an increase in Interviews, How-To’s, Personal Stories, and Weekly Listings of cheap events in and around NYC. So keep on reading for our Editors pick of the December blogosphere as we bid adieu to 2008 and welcome the new year with open arms and heightened anticipation.
One major holiday down, one to go. We hope all of you LifeStyler readers had a fantastic Thanksgiving Holiday (and long weekend), complete with home cooked meals and family gatherings. Ours consisted of alternately inhaling baked macaroni and candied yams while watching old Twilight Zone re-runs on the tube. But then we got down to business and compiled our favorite posts from the month of November in our monthly mashup of cheap, thrifty, and fabulous articles from LifeStyler and beyond the blogosphere. Keep reading for our November Editor’s Picks.
