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.

First, did you know there was an IHOP in Manhattan? Well, there aretwo actually – a relatively new one on East 14th St. and one in Harlem (there’s one in Jackson Heights too!). Even better, this month they’re offering all-you-can-eat pancakes! You select a special (starting at $4.99) and they’ll keep refilling your pancake [...]

You can score a $2 breakfast sandwich (any variety) from your local Starbucks with the purchase of a brewed beverage from now until October 10th. Hopefully this adds a nice perk to your morning routine!

I was walking through Penn Station today and noticed this sign hanging outside the Jamba Juice on the Long Island side. To celebrate their one year anniversary, they’ll have $1 oatmeal, baked goods, and coffee through 2 pm until this Friday, August 26th. That’s a nice and cheap way to start your [...]

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 [...]

Starting today through January 10th, you can buy the Applewood Smoked Bacon, Egg and Gouda or the Veggie, Egg and Monterey Jack Cheese Artisan breakfast sandwich from Starbucks for only $2 when you purchase any beverage. This is a pretty good deal considering the cheapest beverage item is about $1.50 (Pike Place Roast), so [...]

I loved Gigi’s for lunch when I was working just a few blocks away, and I especially miss their unlimited salad bar toss-ins (they have the best low-fat Balsamic dressing…sounds strange, but it’s true). Lucky for you, this month if you order online, you can get their awesome unlimited salad bar toss-ins for only [...]

We moved into our apartment 11 months ago, and on our first morning in our new home, we went to NY Bagels & Cafe. Â Since then, I haven’t walked into another bagel place on the weekend.
NY Bagels & Cafe is located on 1st Ave between 34th and 33rd. Â When you walk in, you [...]

I love pancakes. Well to take a step back, the truth is that I love carbs in every variety. But pancakes hold a special place in my heart and stomach, particularly when they’re from IHOP (I hear you calling my name you delicious Harvest Grain and Nut pancakes). That’s why I’m so excited [...]

There’s nothing like an amazing bagel after a long weekend of bar-hopping and drinking. So no matter how bad my hangover is or how tired I am, I always drag myself out of bed on Sundays to go to Ess-a-Bagel. It is by [...]

Though there are a lot of good reasons for why New Yorkers choose to be New Yorkers, one that I have heard come up more than once, is the availability of the best bagels in the world.
Word has it that the ability to make [...]
