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.

If you’ve seen me at all in the past month, I’ve raved about Harry’s to you. Frankly, I think it’s one of my favorite brunch spots. Here’s why:
1). The price: No matter what you order, Harry’s includes all you can drink Kir Royale, Blood Orange Mimosas and Peach

A year ago, my old roommate Al and I saw a Yelp Deal for Club A Steakhouse. For $80, we saw that we’d get a three course dinner plus a bottle of wine, so we figured we’d buy it and use it together. Needless to say, it took about [...]

A while back I was in Morningside Heights looking for a place to have dinner with my boyfriend. We finally narrowed it down to Italian and settled on the well-reviewed Pisticci. It’s fairly small inside but it had a basement that would be nice for groups, as well as an outdoor area. They also [...]

Earlier this summer a few of us wanted to get together for some drinks but we were getting antsy to try something new. A little digging online for good beers at good prices brought us to Peculier Pub in the Village.
A favorite among beer enthusiasts (and NYU students apparently, so the summer was [...]

Since I babysit on the UWS, and I’ll be attending school in the fall there as well, I’ve begun exploring the neighborhood quite a bit more. I know it’s a haven for restaurants (often out of my student price range), but I don’t see too many bars. The other night my friend/ex-coworker and I [...]

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 [...]

My friend Tom and I have been on a lobster roll hunt around NYC for the past few months. Recently, we had tried Pearl Oyster Bar and while we liked it, we wanted to go somewhere easier on the wallet – which let’s face it, is hard when lobster is involved.
We turned to [...]

One of my favorite places to eat in Astoria is 5 Napkin Burger. Now before you start thinking this is another Astoria post, there are locations in Hell’s Kitchen and the Upper West Side too!
I’ve only eaten at the Astoria location, and I have to say, it is a great addition to the [...]

Astoria has been getting some great restaurants lately. The latest addition to the neighborhood is The Queens Kickshaw, that’s a coffee shop specializing in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. I’ve been twice and I loved it both times. First, I love cheese. You may recall I plan on naming my kid Brie, Colby and Jack [...]

My friends and I were wandering around the LES last weekend looking for a quick dinner to kick off Saturday night. We stumbled upon Tai Thai on 1st Street and were lured in by the chalkboard outside touting $3 beers and $2.50 glasses of wine. The place is small and cutely decorated, but you’d [...]
