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.

Fourth of July Activities

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 [...]

Two-For-One Tuesdays

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 [...]

Favorite Food Finds!

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 [...]

Deal Alert! Free Hot Dogs During Happy Hour!

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 [...]

In order to attend this event, you must RSVP by [...]

Try This Trick! Bitehunter Finds You a Deal!

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 [...]

Deal Alert! It’s May Meze Month at Pera Mediterranean!

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 [...]

Deal Alert! Free Starbucks Tomorrow!

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, [...]
