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.

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 [...]

Tuesdays are a great night for going out. It’s nice for catching up with a friend since it’s still early enough in the week that restaurants and bars aren’t too crowded. And as an extra bonus, because it’s early in the week, restaurants and bars will offer great deals to get people in their [...]

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 [...]

I love free food during happy hour (or any hour for that matter)! Marty O’Brien’s on the Upper East Side offers a long, albeit somewhat early (for those with real jobs), happy hour from noon – 6:30 pm Monday – Friday. Patrons can enjoy 2 for 1 drinks AND free hot dogs! So if [...]

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 [...]

I hate it when I’m already out and need to quickly (people get impatient easily!) decide on a place for a meal or a drink, knowing that if I had my computer I could easily find a deal nearby versus settling on the closest spot. Yes, my smart phone does help, but I like [...]

One of our favorite promotions, Pera Mediterranean‘s May Meze Month, is back with its deliciously awesome deal: three mezes (appetizers) for $9. Pair that with a glass of wine, or a bottle for $30, and you have a lovely compilation of small bites that are a steal (considering most mezes alone are $7-10). This [...]

To celebrate Earth Day, April 22, participating Starbucks are giving away a free cup of coffee or tea if you bring in your own travel mug! And no, it doesn’t have to be a Starbucks-branded mug. Sounds like an easy way to be green – and a great incentive to boot! Not only that, [...]
