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.

Two weeks ago I was invited to see Catch Me If You Can on Broadway for Blogger’s Night. If you are wondering why the name of the show sounds so familiar, this show shares the same story as the 2002 movie starting Leonardo DiCaprio. I hadn’t see the movie before, so the story line kept [...]
