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 [...]

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:

And you may remember that INAW generously gave a card to each attendee at our two year anniversary party. If you received one at [...]

Recently moving to the city has made me somewhat frugal, but I’m ok with the title. I’ve found better ways to save my money rather than splurging on $15 lychee martinis and just mediocre bar food. Now, when my friends and I are looking for a spot where drinks [...]

I love burgers. I love beer. I love them even more when I get them at a discounted price. That’s why I’m so infatuated with The Brews Brothers on the UES.
The Friday before Labor Day my ex-coworkers all get out of work early, so we wanted to find a place for a cheap [...]
