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.

I headed over [...]

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).

Since I’ve been babysitting on the UWS, I’ve become more curious about the all of the famed restaurants on that part of town.

In honor of the US’s victory yesterday, we thought we’d share a few more World Cup specials around the city (again, these are not exactly hard to come by, so we’re just picking out a few that we like).
One of our favorites is at Exchange Bar & Grill in Gramercy. If you’re watching [...]
