Movie Set Travel: Friends With Money

While her heart mends and she nurses it in the beefy arms of boyfriend Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Aniston's Friends With Money is released today. In a departure from her real bijillionaire life, Jennifer plays a downtrodden former teacher/maid who's broke, yet has loaded friends who all try to take her on as a charity case.

Filmed in two of the most expensive cities in the country, NYC and LA, we offer you some things to do in both places if you don't have friends with money--or didn't make $1 mil an episode on your last hit sitcom:

Where to Eat Well Cheap:
Momofuku Noodle Bar
Just anointed the home of Food & Wine's "Best New Chef" this cozy East Village nook serves some of the best pork buns and pickle plates you've ever had. No need to whip out your Amex Black here; dishes are large and inexpensive, not to mention delicious and filling. Hang out with a beer while you wait for your place at the bar. We guarantee you'll find cooler people than the i-bankers at Per Se.

Where to Work Out For Nothing:
LATrails.com
Plot your path and bring your Nalgene bottle to hit the trails for nuthin' in LA. This site will give you maps, distances, elevations and trailheads for tons of locations in the LA Metro area. No need to have Gunnar Peterson on speed dial or pay $1000 a day to look good. Your po' friends will love you even more.

Where to Party for Free:
Free NYC Party at Galapagos
Need to impress your friends this Saturday night? Head to hipster hangout Galapagos in Williamsburg and celebrate "Cheap and Sleazy", FreeNYC's two-year anniversary party. There's an open bar from 10:30pm "till the keg kicks", and the first 50 entrants get a sweet pass to the Bodies exhibit. Who says friends with money are even that cool anyways?
