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.

After our successful mini bar crawl of the UES, my boyfriend and I decided to stroll through our favorite neighborhood – the East Village – and try a few spots. Unfortunately the rain made us go home earlier than planned, but we did make it to Hop Devil Grill and The Belgian Room.
He’d [...]

It may take a lot (or a little, no judging here) to persuade you to go out on a Monday night, so if you’re looking for a good excuse we’ve got one for you. The Hill (aptly named since it’s in Murray Hill) offers a pretty incredible Monday night special: Enjoy all you can drink [...]

Since I babysit on the UWS, and I’ll be attending school in the fall there as well, I’ve begun exploring the neighborhood quite a bit more. I know it’s a haven for restaurants (often out of my student price range), but I don’t see too many bars. The other night my friend/ex-coworker and I [...]

Not at a lot to choose from today! But you can go on a mini pub crawl (as in two places: Hudson Terrace and Village Pourhouse) for a night of beer samplings. For $22 you’ll get a five-beer tasting from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Hudson Terrace, followed by one pint of beer at Village [...]

It’s the first Friday of the month, and I’m Not At Work (INAW) is celebrating with its usual free hour of an open bar for card members. This time it’s at Bullpen on the UES, and from 7-8 pm you can get unlimited Bud Light and well drinks. It’s worth heading over before and/or [...]

There are few things I love more than boats and beer, so needless to say I’m psyched about this weekend’s World Yacht Maifest event! Similar to the Oktoberfest event they hosted in the fall, Pier 81 will be transformed into a German beer garden complete with authentic beers (e.g., Paulaner), food (e.g., Schaller and [...]

At dinner the other night, my friends were talking about their favorite burger spots in NYC, and Corner Bistro came up more than once. My friends swore by their burgers, saying that they “taste like homemade burgers grilled in your backyard,” giving it a distinct taste over the Pat LaFrieda meat and gourmet specialty [...]

I’ll admit it – sometimes I get suckered into one of our Favorite Food Finds, especially if it’s my neighborhood, and I forget to read the fine print. When I saw a coupon for Canz from BeerMenus a few months back, I jumped on it. I hadn’t been to this bar/restaurant, but my boyfriend [...]
