Broke-Ass Stuart's Guide to Living Cheaply in San Francisco

by Broke-Ass Stuart

This gritty guide shows both locals of and visitors to San Francisco what to do and where to stay, eat, and drink without breaking the bank. Cult fave Broke-Ass Stuart uncovers the city's secrets for the young, the beautiful, and the broke. They range from free Saturday BBQs every summer; to happy hours that up the ante to two-for-one; and even to the elusive Tamale Lady, who usually finds her customers rather than vice versa. Stuart thoughtfully includes photos and maps.

This book was and is a great help as I read through it because it tells me a lot about what I can do here in San Francisco. Being a new yorker at heart I was shocked to see that a majority of the restaurants and shops clothes so early! Now I know where I have to go to eat late and stay entertained. And on the cheap! Thanks, Broke Ass Stuart!!!

PS the maps are hilarious and the section about the tenderloin is so, so true....

Helped to familiarize ourselves with SF before visiting.

Funny! Way more amusing than Fodor's. If you're an alcoholic or thinking of becoming one, this is the guidebook for you. If you're not, it still has some good suggestions.

Seriously funny, and useful to boot.

The definitive guide to San Francisco on a budget. Thanks you, Broke-Ass Stuart (if that is your real name...)
