Stuart Schuffman (born December 16, 1980), better known as Broke-Ass Stuart, is an American travel writer and blogger known for his guidebook Broke-Ass Stuart’s Guide to Living Cheaply in San Francisco, of which he released two versions in zine form and one in book form.
Schuffman later contributed to Lonely Planet's books Western Europe and Europe on a Shoestring, for which he wrote the Ireland chapters.[citation needed] Schuffman is the "Editor in Cheap" for his eponymous culture website and a food, drink, and night life culture contributor to the San Francisco Bay Guardian.[1][2][3]
In June 2011, Schuffman released Young, Broke & Beautiful on IFC.[4] The show intended to explore lesser-known and "alternative" travel experiences; the opening series included visits to New Orleans, Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis, Boston, and San Diego.[5][6] Critical response included negative comments from Chris Barton of the Los Angeles Times, who called Schuffman "a tireless self-promoter" with "tastes [that] aren't as edgy as he thinks,"[7] and Boston Globe critic Matthew Gilbert, who felt the show was "straining too hard to be different".[8]
In 2014, Schuffman began the "Kind of Late Show with Broke-Ass Stuart," a late-night variety show recorded live and uploaded to YouTube.[9] In 2015, Schuffman ran for mayor of San Francisco, and was later fined for ethics violations.[10]
In 2022, Schuffman marked 20 years of documenting San Francisco life.[11]
