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.

One of my favorite bars hands down is the Bravest located on 38th and 2nd.  In fact, I’ve spent my last two Fridays there and I’ve been pretty impressed that we were able to score a table on both occasions.
I like the Bravest because beers are cheap. Â No matter what time of day or [...]

My guy friends all rave about BonChon – the Korean chicken spot – and truth be told, I’ve never been. But here’s a reason to go if I’ve ever heard of one! BonChon Midtown, on 51st and 2nd, has a happy hour every day from 4pm – 9pm that features $1 Coors Lights. Â If [...]

After our successful mini bar crawl of the UES, my boyfriend and I decided to stroll through our favorite neighborhood – the East Village – and try a few spots. Unfortunately the rain made us go home earlier than planned, but we did make it to Hop Devil Grill and The Belgian Room.
He’d [...]

It may take a lot (or a little, no judging here) to persuade you to go out on a Monday night, so if you’re looking for a good excuse we’ve got one for you. The Hill (aptly named since it’s in Murray Hill) offers a pretty incredible Monday night special: Enjoy all you can drink [...]

Wondering where to go out tonight? Consider Idle Hands Bar, located on Avenue B between 3rd and 2nd. Â I visited this bar, which is located underground below Billy Hurricane’s a few weeks back for a work event and fell in love with it for three main reasons:
Beer and bourbon. Â While I’m not a [...]

Since I babysit on the UWS, and I’ll be attending school in the fall there as well, I’ve begun exploring the neighborhood quite a bit more. I know it’s a haven for restaurants (often out of my student price range), but I don’t see too many bars. The other night my friend/ex-coworker and I [...]

I love free food during happy hour (or any hour for that matter)! Marty O’Brien’s on the Upper East Side offers a long, albeit somewhat early (for those with real jobs), happy hour from noon – 6:30 pm Monday – Friday. Patrons can enjoy 2 for 1 drinks AND free hot dogs! So if [...]

It’s the first Friday of the month, and I’m Not At Work (INAW) is celebrating with its usual free hour of an open bar for card members. This time it’s at Bullpen on the UES, and from 7-8 pm you can get unlimited Bud Light and well drinks. It’s worth heading over before and/or [...]

One of my favorite places to eat in Astoria is 5 Napkin Burger. Â Now before you start thinking this is another Astoria post, there are locations in Hell’s Kitchen and the Upper West Side too!
I’ve only eaten at the Astoria location, and I have to say, it is a great addition to the [...]
