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.

Interested in a great brunch this weekend? We’ve reviewed a number of places here, but the brunch special at Don Pedro’s recently caught my eye: $19 for a 3-course brunch AND all-you-can-drink sangria (while you eat, so you can’t linger for hours).
I’m not sure if I’d want to eat so much food while tossing back bottomless drinks, but [...]

Vamos (check Laura’s review here) has a pretty solid deal from now through February 29: Two hours of all-you-can-eat tacos and all-you-can-drink frozen margaritas for only $26, Sunday-Thursday nights from 6-11 pm! Usually their Monday night deal is all-you-can-eat tacos + one margarita, so for $7 more you can imbibe to your liking, 5 nights [...]

I don’t do brunch too often, but when I do I want to be sure it’s a good time. Some of my favorites include Calle Ocho, Sunburnt Calf, and Van Diemens (have we really not written about Calle Ocho and Van Diemens yet?!). I went with two friends over MLK weekend and Calle Ocho [...]

Paradou is celebrating its 10th anniversary all month long by giving every reservation a bottle of wine to take home, which is pretty awesome in and of itself. But it gets better! On Monday, October 24th, Paradou is hosting an all-you-can-eat pig roast and all-you-can-drink wine and champagne cocktail dinner for $35!
They’ll be [...]

If you are still hoping to find that special someone this weekend, check out the Sunburnt Cow on Sunday. Â This East Village eatery is offering a two hour open bar for $20. Â Also included is an ice luge where you can indulge in some shots, and after things get a little hazy, you can [...]

I’ll admit it – sometimes I can be wrong. Â While last year I may have had a terrible experience at Chinatown East as far as takeout goes, this establishment has slowly started to become one of our favorites in the city. Â Why? Â All you can drink sake (no, that doesn’t rhyme with cake).
We’ve [...]

Naturally nearly every bar in town is touting some special to attract the crowds this Sunday. You’ll be able to find $4 pints, half-priced drinks, etc., just about anywhere. However, we noticed a few deals that seemed to be particularly good if you’re planning on kicking back a bunch of beers and eating [...]

I am probably the stingiest person I’ve ever met. I’m also probably the hungriest. I could eat 24 hours a day and I rarely turn down an offer to grab dinner. In order to avoid shelling out $20 for these dinners, I’m constantly [...]
