89th And Broke I'm a young professional living in Astoria (formerly of Williamsburg, the UES and Murray Hill - I move a lot!). I'm always looking for something fun to do or the best place to grab a drink and dinner at an affordable price around the city.

My roommate and I went out to dinner at Posto Thin Crust Pizza a week or so ago to celebrate my birthday. Although we’ve walked by it a bunch of times neither of us had ever tried it, so this was the perfect excuse. It had a nice outdoor seating area, but it [...]

One of the things I’m most thankful about my new job (yes, newsflash: Â I now work for an NYC deal and discount Web site) is that my coworker Wells has introduced me to Olive’s. Â This little soup, salad and sandwich shop in Soho produces some of the most phenomenal sandwiches.
While I hate to [...]

Fridays when I grew up meant pizza. Â So a few Fridays back, we decided to head to Veloce for some pies.
It was around 9 p.m. when we showed up and tables were scarce, but the host said he could squeeze us in. Â He made a big deal of putting our table of 4 [...]

I can’t help it but anything with the word free and samples immediately catches my attention. Â Thus, I froze when flipping through AM NY this morning.

When I got an instant message that said, “I just had the best Italian sandwich in NYC” from my friend Dave, I immediately copied the Yelp review and sent it to my entire office. Within 10 minutes of receiving the initial message, I was already en route to Alidoro.
As we turned down Sullivan [...]
