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 love Mexican food, so when I was asked to plan a work event, I immediately thought of a great deal I read about at Vamos, on 20th and 1st. All day on Monday, you can get all you can eat tacos and a margarita for $19.
We were seated inside the restaurant since [...]

With Restaurant Week extended until Labor Day, a few of my friends and I decided to check out Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse for lunch on Sunday. As I’ve said before, I think a steakhouse is an incredible value for Restaurant Week, especially for lunch, simply because steak can be at least $30 or more, and [...]

I’m a big sushi fan so when I can find deals beyond the standard $8-9 for two rolls and soup/salad at lunch, I’m pretty excited. That’s why I love Hane Sushi near Peter Cooper and Stuy Town. With rotating specials each day, you can be sure to get a bargain on delicious sushi.
I’ve [...]

McKenna (our Webmaster, and likes/dislikes in italics) and I were recently invited out for a tasting at Hudson Eatery, and naturally we were more than happy to oblige. Since we typically stick to the East side, we weren’t exactly looking forward to our trek over there (and it is pretty far, on 57th between [...]

When it comes to restaurants, I really don’t care about the ambiance. All I want is good food at a good price – and not surprisingly, my mom and dad are the same way. So when my parents came into town (Andy’s thoughts in italics – yes, my dad), I was looking for a [...]

As we mentioned in a post last week, Laura (thoughts in Italics) and I were lucky enough to recently try two Korean restaurants – Shilla and Arang. While the popular Korean barbecue (like we described at Shilla) is available at Arang, it is not done table-side and thus doesn’t seem to be a main emphasis [...]

Recently we (Caryn’s thoughts in italics) were fortunate enough to be asked to review two Korean restaurants. We eagerly jumped on the opportunity to try a new cuisine (this was a first for both of us) and headed over to Shilla, a Korean restaurant located in Korea Town, for a spin. If you aren’t familiar with [...]

My roommate and I went out to dinner at Posto Thin Crust Pizza a week or so ago to celebrate my birthday. Although we’ve walked by it a bunch of times neither of us had ever tried it, so this was the perfect excuse. It had a nice outdoor seating area, but it [...]

My mom came in for a quick visit on Saturday so I needed to find a nearby place for brunch. There aren’t a ton of options in Gramercy, so I racked my brain as we walked down Third Avenue. After perusing a few menus, we decided on Piccolo Italian Restaurant’s $13 brunch menu [...]

Yesterday, I was reading one of my favorite blogs, NYC Daily Deals and noticed a promotion at Yorganic - free lunch for the first 300 people. As soon as my call at noon was over, I grabbed my manager and ran down the street to this healthy, organic establishment in the Financial District.
I had been [...]
