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.

I’m always interested in exploring new bars in the neighborhood, so I headed over to Kinsale Tavern on Friday night with my boyfriend for some drinks and bar food. It was anything but rowdy on a Friday, but that actually suited us just fine because we wanted to talk and be able to hear [...]

Opened a month ago, City Swiggers has gained some recognition among beer gurus, but it’s great for anyone who loves to try new things. My boyfriend is a huge fan of [...]

In celebration of Oktoberfest, three of Petite Abeille’s locations – the exception being Hudson St. – is offering $4 Buzz drafts today (usually $7 a pint). Buzz is Petite Abeille’s specially-made brew by Brooklyn’s Sixpoint Craft Ales with just a touch of honey (a nice choice since the restaurant’s name translates to Little Bee). [...]

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 [...]
