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.

One of my go-to restaurants in Astoria is Bareburger. Now before you roll your eyes and think this is another Astoria review, Bareburger also just launched a location in Greenwich Village.
Now as you can probably tell, Bareburger is a burger joint. The Astoria location is always packed, so best if you have a [...]

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 [...]
