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.

Deal Alert! AYCE Tacos + AYCD Margaritas for $26!

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 [...]

Deal Alert! All You Can Eat Ribs for $19!

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, [...]

Deal Alert! $2 Beers at Third and Long!

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 [...]

Deal Alert! Win $500 From 16 Handles!

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 [...]

Deal Alert! Free Meat Pies!

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 [...]

Deal Alert! $10 Burger and Beer Combo!

Here’s a reason to come to Astoria each and every Monday.

Deal Alert! Save Money During RW With Foursquare and American Express!

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 [...]

Deal Alert! $2 Parfaits From Baskin Robbins!

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. [...]
