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.
Have a suggestion? Email me at Laura AT 89thandbroke DOT com.

Interested in a great brunch this weekend? We’ve reviewed a number of places here, but the brunch special at Don Pedro’s recently caught my eye: $19 for a 3-course brunch AND all-you-can-drink sangria (while you eat, so you can’t linger for hours).
I’m not sure if I’d want to eat so much food while tossing back bottomless drinks, but [...]

Vamos (check Laura’s review here) has a pretty solid deal from now through February 29: Two hours of all-you-can-eat tacos and all-you-can-drink frozen margaritas for only $26, Sunday-Thursday nights from 6-11 pm! Usually their Monday night deal is all-you-can-eat tacos + one margarita, so for $7 more you can imbibe to your liking, 5 nights [...]

Some of my guy friends (um Dave) could really pack in a ton of food if they wanted to. If you consider taking on an all you can eat ribs night as a personal challenge, consider swinging by MexiQ in Astoria on a Tuesday. For just $19, enjoy St. Louis-style pork ribs with your choice of sauce, [...]

Things I despise: happy hours that end at 7pm. Why? There is no way I’m out of work to enjoy them, unless it’s a Friday.
My buddy Tim and I love mugs o' beer.
That’s why I like Third and Long on 3rd and 35th Street. This bar totally gets that some of [...]

16 Handles is running a promotion to find the perfect name for its new treat: a machine that blends your fro-yo with toppings (think McDonald’s McFlurry’s or Dairy Queen’s Blizzards). They have a naming contest on Facebook that will last until midnight of February 2 and the winner will receive $500. They’ll pick 16 [...]

Yesterday my buddy at The Skint and I were wondering what celebrations were happening around the city for Australia Day. While we could find some open bars and beer specials, frankly, none were that good ($4 beers is nothing to me as far as a deal, unless accompanied by free food). And then we [...]

Here’s a reason to come to Astoria each and every Monday. MexiQ, located on 30th Ave and 37th Street (5 stops in from Manhattan, people, about 15 minutes from 59th and Lex), offers a burger and a beer for $10. Choose from several carefully sourced craft beers on tap along with any of the menu’s innovative [...]

Restaurant Week is in full swing and you still have a lot of time left to make a RSVP and enjoy some high-end dining for a semi-reasonable price. But bring foursquare and American Express into the picture, and you can receive even more savings.
American Express and foursquare partnered up to give you a [...]

This deal is kind of annoying because we can’t confirm which locations participate (per usual) and we don’t know when the promo is ending (unusual), but for a limited time you can get $2 soft-serve parfaits from Baskin Robbins. They come in three flavors: Hot Fudge n’ Almonds, Caramel n’ Almonds, and Strawberry n’ Almonds. [...]
