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.

Monday was my version of Alexander’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, starting with losing my apartment keys and running to the hardware store to make copies of my super’s keys making me more than 30 minutes late to class, and ending with a mouse making itself comfortable in my kitchen, with a [...]

The other day, I had the pleasure of joining Jason from I Dream of Pizza for his monthly pizza club. Pizza Club is basically a group of Jason’s friends who get together at a pizza joint for some ‘za.
We headed to the West Village to try out 900 Degrees – and if you are [...]

After watching Man Vs. Food’s Brooklyn episode over a year and a half ago, I’ve been wanting to check out L&B Spumoni Gardens. Since this restaurant is located in Gravesend (aka the last stop on the N before Coney Island), I knew chances of me visiting this spot were pretty slim. When a friend [...]

As always, The Dealist‘s neighborhood food crawl, Tastes of Nolita, proved to be a deliciously delightful day! I went with my roommate Katie, Red Headed Correspondent (and photographer here!), and we had a great afternoon walking around Nolita, trying savory and sweet dishes from seven hot spots, and shopping for jewelry and other fun [...]

Caryn and I don’t see each other nearly as often as we’d like, so when she was by my office the other day, she suggested we meet up for lunch. Since we’re both bargain hunters, Spunto was the perfect spot for a sit-down lunch because of its affordable lunch menu.
Now Spunto is the [...]

The Chicago-based deep dish pizza chain, Uno, is hosting a few days of specials for Insiders. To become an Insider, simply sign-up on on their website (free of charge).

I’ve heard a ton about Two Boots pizza over the past few years (and we’ve even shared some Deal Alerts), but for some unknown reason I had never been there before. That changed a few weeks ago when my boyfriend discovered there was one a few blocks from me and insisted that we go.
