Yes, even your tireless brokesters in arms need to take a little break. So we’re going dark for the week to cool our laptops, recharge our batteries and stock up on posts to come back with a vengeance ready for the fall.  We’ll still be tweeting (and may slip in an occasional post). But  for the rest of the week, we’re turning this thread over to YOU, fair readers. Tell us: What do you want to see more of on the site? On which missions of thriftiness should we deploy the troops in coming months?

Do you like the Brokelyn road test? Free date ideas? Secret tips for living cheaply? Do you live in a neighborhood that doesn’t get enough Brokelyn love? Dirt-cheap beer taste testings? Tell us! Hey, if you’re motivated enough, you could even join Team Brokelyn.

In the meantime, check out our friends at the skint for listings of free and cheap stuff this week. And you can revisit (or discover) some of Brokelyn classics, like this guide to recycling and getting rid of all of your old stuff, tips for getting a cheap tattoo, car-service price checks and our Foursquare rewards guide to Brooklyn.

See you in a week! We’ll miss you!

So, chances are you’re sitting inside today frittering your time away on time-sucking meme blogs (hello, are you back on Brokelyn yet?) and becoming fans of poodles with tin foil hats. So why not put your pent-up energy to productive use by telling your friends here at Brokelyn what you think of us? What do you like about the site? What do you hate? Are we too girlish? Too boyish? Too broke or not broke enough? What kinds of stories/features/widgets/slideshows would you like to see? Neighborhoods we should be covering? Don’t hold back. Three commenters will receive Brokelyn t-shirts.
