It’s so dang hot outside today that we’re having trouble concentrating. Our office air conditioner is working over time, squirting water on customers entering the Crate & Barrel directly below, yet somehow the line at our favorite burrito cart shows no sign of letting up.

To help treat this heat-induced A.D.D., we’ve turned to Twitter to find some of the best budget travel headlines from around the web:
@benjilanyado: Is London an affordable travel destination? According to Benji Lanyado’s article for the Guardian, it has always been, if you plan accordingly.
@jaunted: Want to cool off by visiting a New York City museum offering free drinks to parched guests? Jaunted has the scoop.
@frugaltraveler: Ever wish you could go on a trip dedicated to eating good food? Then this article by the NY Times Frugal Traveler is for you!
@andrewghayes: Think Jersey (the old British one) is just a tax haven for the rich? Andy at Europealacarte has some refreshing tips for non-banking visitors.
@travelrants: Our pal Darren over at Travel Rants sounds off on the prospects of space tourism. Don’t read this if you’re Richard Branson.
@travolution: Linda Fox at Travolution has helped us stay up to date on the growing debate about fake hotel reviews on TripAdvisor.
@elliotdotorg: Meanwhile, we couldn’t believe some of Christopher Elliot’s reports about the 5 most disgusting cruise ships in the world.
Have a great weekend, Cheapos, and stay cool wherever you are!

I’m extremely cool in the UK as we’re being battered by torrential rain annd strong winds. Luckily I didn’t have to go out today.
Thanks for mentioning the post about Jersey (the sort of British one) but It was written by Andy Hayes a member of the Europe a la Carte blogging team, so I can’t take credit for it.
Great round up – thanks for including my Jersey (the island, not the state) post over at Europe A La Carte.
D’oh! Thanks for letting us know, Karen and Andy. We’ve updated this post accordingly.
