Free Friday Films At Greenwich Library

When I was a teenager and ran away from home, I chose to go to the Greenwich Library.  I knew I could spend hours listening to the newest record albums (remember those?), peruse the latest magazines, check out artwork in the gallery upstairs and feed my brain-cells while hiding from my parents.

Back in the early [...]

Focus On Byram; An On The Cheap Day Fishing/Shopping/Stuffing Face

Here’s an idea for a family of men and women, boys and girls. Not to play to stereotype or anything, but say the guys want to go fishing, and the women wish to shop for the latest brand-name fashion at discounted prices.  (It could be the other way around of course, but they don’t call [...]

FREE: Great Children’s Read, Sunday, October 4th 10am – 5pm at Columbia U.-Broadway & 116th St. NYC

If you read this blog often enough, you’ll discover I have a bias towards books, performing and fine arts, and food.  None of these need be expensive, and that’s the whole point of this website.

Lavishing Praise; Mal’s-On-The-Cheap Favorites

I’ve roamed the globe as a travel writer, but nothing excites me more than exploring the nooks and crannies of my own back yard. There are eye-catching, inexpensive, gracious and worthwhile establishments in Greenwich without the advertising budget of, say, Saks Fifth Ave. whose weekend mega sale was broadcast in a slew of full-page ads [...]

Spend $250 At Saks Fifth Ave. – Get A Funky Chain/Hoop/Feather Nanette Lepore Necklace Free, Sept. 24-27

Hoo boy. Saks Fifth Ave. On The Cheap? Saks, the very symbol of wealth and prestige, has never relied on “deals” and “specials” to draw customers. So why write about this bastion of exclusivity on my greenwichonthecheap.com? Because, whether it’s due to the state of the economy, or the [...]

Free Hayrides and Gardening Lectures at Sam Bridge Nursery weekends in Sept and October

This is more like it for fall.  Back to the land, back to riding atop bales of hay.  Riding atop bales of hay?  Wait a minute – are we in Kansas?  Of course not – people all over the place love this annual autumn tradition.  New England, too,  is known for its gorgeous flora and [...]
