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.

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 [...]

We’re starting to close out our guide to single events around Valentine’s Day weekend, and I was alerted tothis event hosted by Save the Date(ing) and JackRabbit Sports. On Sunday starting at noon, there will be a singles 5K, called Love Cubed, along the Hudson River. Following the run, there will be an open [...]

If you are still hoping to find that special someone this weekend, check out the Sunburnt Cow on Sunday. This East Village eatery is offering a two hour open bar for $20. 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. 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 [...]

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 [...]
