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.

Deal Alert! 3-Course Brunch + AYCD Sangria for $19!

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 [...]

Deal Alert! AYCE Tacos + AYCD Margaritas for $26!

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 [...]

AYCD Brunch For Under $20? Yes, Please!

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 [...]

They’ll be [...]

The Ultimate SAKE-rifice

I’ll admit it – sometimes I can be wrong.  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.  Why?  All you can drink sake (no, that doesn’t rhyme with cake).

We’ve [...]

Deal Alert! Super Bowl Sunday Specials!

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 [...]

Chinese and Unlimited Wine at the Cottage

Guest Post by Jenni Maier, Editor of the Post Grad Blog

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 [...]
