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.

I’ve been a Netflix subscriber for several years, and one of the saddest days was when I realized that movies in the “Instant” queue don’t last forever. As a result, I spent most of January 2010 scrambling to rewatch Beverly Hills, 90210, season 1 before it expired.
If you don’t want to run into [...]

Caryn and I pretty much highlight deals that cover food, drinks, museums and Broadway. When it comes to spas, usually we’ll highlight spa week, but if you are looking for spa and salon deals on a regular basis, you may want to tryto bTreated, an invitation-only site – think Ruelala but for NYC spa services.

A few weeks back I told you about Tenka, a mobile coupon provider. With Tenka, you connect to the service via Facebook and select coupons you’d like to add to “your pocket”. Once at a participating establishment, you show your coupon on your phone, and redeem it to get your freebies or deal.

We love daily deals at 89th and Broke, but who doesn’t? And it seems like new deal sites are popping up every week (well, they actually are), which is great for us, but it can be overwhelming. To make it a little easier on all of you, we compile our favorite food/drink related deals [...]

A couple days ago I received a tweet from Tenka, a mobile coupon provider, about free food week. Before sharing with you, I wanted to try it out.
I connected to Tenka via Facebook, and saw 6 freebie offers – like free falafel and drink at Mamoun’s. There was also a deal for Two [...]

Last week we told you about dealigee, a new website where you can buy and sell vouchers. While we played around with the site prior to writing the post, I was able to actually use the site last week, and thought I’d share my experience.
On Thursday of last week, I remembered that my [...]

Every few months, Caryn and I realize we have a Groupon or LivingSocial deal that’s about to expire and then it’s a mad dash of us trying to figure out when we both can go to a restaurant and use the deal. Case in point: a few Fridays ago while most 20somethings [...]

Flying home from Barcelona in 2009
A few months ago, my friend Yael tipped me off to airline dining programs. While I don’t have a credit card that earns airline miles, I can enroll my credit cards into dining airline mile programs and earn miles in addition to my usual credit card rewards.

With cooler weekends up ahead, you may finally want to visit some of those indoor exhibits you’ve been putting off all summer. If you are ready to check out Bodies or King Tut, check Goldstar before you buy. Now we’ve mentioned Goldstar in the past for last year’s Cook. Eat. Drink. Live. Festival, and [...]
