About the Book

While many resources are available online, it can take hours upon hours to answer the questions covered in Broke in Boston, and even longer to retrace those answers weeks later.  The guide addresses nearly every way a Boston resident can limit spending.  This information has never before been consolidated and took a devoted staff of seven people well over a year to put together.

Every aspect of the book was designed with you, the reader, in mind
The book’s dimensions (4.75” Wide x 7” Long) make it an extremely portable reference that can fit easily into a back pocket or purse.  The chapters are laid out in the order they would be needed by someone moving to the city.  Explicit directions for reaching destinations are provided throughout the book.  Even the mundane tasks of obtaining parking permits, avoiding parking tickets, finding the right cable and internet providers are addressed. 

Use the 200-plus pages of information and state-of-the-art, digitally-designed color maps to inexpensively navigate your way through Boston’s exciting and historic streets, restaurants, bars, clubs, neighborhoods, parks, landmarks, and water bodies!
