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.

To celebrate its 5th anniversary (and an upcoming Soho location), Pera is offering the below menu on weekends during brunch and dinner through the end of the year. For $29 [...]

If you’re sticking around the city this weekend (I actually love fourth of July in NYC), then you’re probably thinking about where to catch the fireworks. Naturally your own/a friend’s rooftop is ideal and free, but if you don’t have that option or if you’re looking for something different, here are a few ways [...]

The other night, a couple of my girlfriends (including Caryn) and I were looking to get dinner together in Murray Hill. Â We thought we’d try Mason Jar, mainly because we were able to get a $25 restaurant.com gift certificate there for $4.50 with a coupon code (so each of would spend $1, and get [...]

I love barbecued meats and I prefer the saucy, Texas variety, not vinegar-based barbecue or dry rubs. While there aren’t a ton of great barbecue options in the city, Hill Country, Blue Smoke and Dinosaur Bar B Que certainly generate a lot of buzz, but I’m always apprehensive that it will be too dry [...]

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 [...]

Have you ever wanted to be on Top Chef, but feared Padma’s judgment and Tom Calicio’s piercing blue eyes?
Well I have and if you’re like me, Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese BBQ joint in the East Village, just might be your heaven.  It has all the exotic [...]

After reading Laura’s review last week about Dinosaur, I’ve been craving barbecue. I want to try Hill Country, but I’m also tempted to go back to an old favorite, Virgil’s in Time Square. I hopped on the site and noticed an advertisement for Ribstock. On Wednesday, August 12th, the Nokia Theater and [...]
