The Frugal Traveler is my second travel column, and it's still new enough that you can scroll through it all online at nytimes.com/frugaltraveler (or see a list of my personal favorites here). "Weekend in New York"
appeared in The New York Times Travel section from May 2006
until December 2008, suggesting ways for visitors to see a different
cross-section of the city each week. Links to all columns
are below; to see sample columns as they appeared in the print edition,
