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.

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 [...]

I always struggle with where to go for dinner when I’m seeing a Broadway show. After seeing Catch Me If You Can with my friend Tom last week, we decided to hit up Vynl.
Vynl’s menu is made up of some great American favorites – burgers, wraps, sandwiches, breakfast options all day and mac [...]

A few nights ago, my friend Jess and I were standing in Union Square wondering where to go to dinner. We settled on The Loop, a sushi restaurant in Gramercy, simply because it had 4 stars on Yelp.
While all the Yelp reviews raved about the sushi (at least what I could see on [...]

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.

While I’ve lived on the UES for over a year now, there are a number of restaurants and bars that I haven’t gotten around to trying yet. So last week my boyfriend and I decided to hit up three new bars: Ryan’s Daughter, Caledonia Scottish Pub, and Auction House.
We started at Ryan’s Daughter [...]

Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises and World Yacht are presenting the outdoor concert at Pier 81 at 41st Street at 8 pm. The band is supposed to be excellent and the setting will make [...]

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 [...]
