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.

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). [...]

One of our favorites, Idle Hands, is beginning a long celebration today in honor of its one year anniversary, coinciding with NY Craft Beer Week and the Kentucky Bourbon Festival.

According to the site, the event will feature over 100 local, area craft beers along with food and entertainment. The afternoon event will enable guests to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
