NYC Livin' on a Budget

I live in Clinton-Hills, Brooklyn. I love my neighborhood, my borough, my city. Check out the places I know about with the best food and fashions. And of course a few of the coolest places to hang out... all on a budget of course! This IS a recession! assataSAYS.com

Shelly's

I've been going to Shelly's for about 6yrs & I LOVE the atmosphere. The hair dressers are experienced in hair care and Dominican hairstyling.

iCi Restaurant

Overall, I thought the food was great. A little crammed since the restaurant is basically someone's living room. @$25 each, it makes for a great evening out.
