Recession vacations: do more with less {Gadling}

Mar 3rd 2009 6:39PM I'll just say it: this recession sucks. Vacations are momentarily out of the question and my weekends are even feeling a hit. It's getting so that you can't throw back a few top-shelf liqueurs out on the dancefloor without all the apocalypse in the air killing your buzz. So I say embrace the doom and rock out to a recession-themed vacation/weekend extravaganza! You might even see your own city or town in a whole new light scavenging for cheap forms of food and entertainment. A colleague of mine recently posted a few good pointers for a san fran recession-era meal: http://blog.nileguide.com/2009/02/23/recession-eats-bargain-bites-in-san-francisco/

But no matter where you live, baking a can of beans on a running car engine is universal fun for the whole family!
