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 [...]

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 [...]

If you have to spend your precious weekend hours doing some last-minute Christmas shopping, you might as well be eating and drinking while doing it! You can eat brunch, drink holiday cocktails, and shop from vendors around the city as the Eat, Drink, Shop & Be Merry Holiday Brunch Party at Hudson Terrace this Sunday, [...]

If you’ve seen me at all in the past month, I’ve raved about Harry’s to you. Frankly, I think it’s one of my favorite brunch spots. Here’s why:
1). The price: No matter what you order, Harry’s includes all you can drink Kir Royale, Blood Orange Mimosas and Peach

We love Pera Mediterranean so we were happy to hear about their new Boundless BBQ menu, which was previously only offered around July 4th. 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 [...]

The Sunburnt Cow is an AYCD New York City brunch institution and its sister restaurant, Bondi Road, is supposed to be great too. Earlier this year the Moo Life Group expanded and opened the Sunburnt Calf on the Upper West Side. Apparently they all serve the same food with the same prices and specials, [...]

If you are in Astoria and looking for a date spot, look no further than DiWine. I went to DiWine last Monday, and this wine bar was pretty quiet (I’ve heard it gets busier especially towards the weekend). The cool thing about it being kind of empty was that [...]

1) Every Monday you can get a FREE bottle of wine for your table when you order your entrees. [...]

After discussing brunch for a few weeks, I decided to meet up with my friend Tim one Sunday for brunch and drinks. Since it was just the two of us, we knew we didn’t need to take advantage of an all you can drink deal, so when we stumbled into [...]

We just told you guys about Pera’s May Meze Madness a few days ago, but we received some updates that were definitely worth sharing.
First, we forgot to note that along with your three appetizers for $9, you do get complimentary house baked bread and a kasseri cheese presentation which is all delicious (and who [...]
