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.

Since moving (back) to the Upper East Side, I’ve been on a quest to hunt out new go-to spots in my neighborhood. Sometimes I get a hankering for pub food, so finding a decent bar with a good burger was something that appealed to me. Everyday I walked by Genesis Restaurant & Bar, and [...]

A few weeks back, my friend Dan (who had the pleasure of living next door to me growing up) was in town visiting from Minnesota, and we were trying to narrow down a place to go for drinks. We decided on Hop Devil Grill in the East Village because it was right in the [...]

In the bar-wasteland around my office, a very welcome addition has been Whiskey Rebel on 28th and Lexington. Curry Hill doesn’t seem like a natural spot for such a bar, and isn’t, but I think that’s why it works.
What we love about the bar is the free popcorn or snack mixes they serve [...]

The Irish Exit has some upcoming deals that are definitely worth knowing about.
First, if you like free food and drinks (and who doesn’t?), then consider RSVPing to their grand opening party in honor of the new Boom Boom Room (read: a dance room) this Friday and Saturday night. They’ll be passing out free [...]

Last year McCormick and Schmick’s offered a great Reel to Reel promotion – buy your entree and tack on another $5 to get a movie ticket. And yesterday we tweeted that over the holiday weekend, they were throwing in the movie ticket for free on top of your entree purchase.
But if you didn’t [...]

Pinkberry has come out with two new promotions (and a new flavor, Watermelon) which we’re pretty excited about.
1) Starting today, every day from 5-7 pm marks Pinkberry’s Watermelon Happy Hour, meaning you can get Watermelon Pinkberry flavor-swirls, side by sides and toppings at half-off! This deliciously sweet happy hour will last through August when the [...]

I’m happy to report that I’ve found a new affordable (read: cheap) spot for my drinking: Manny’s on Second. I hit it up during the free hour open bar that’s hosted by I’m Not At Work at a new location each month, and lucky for us, this past month it was at this fine establishment (I [...]

About a year ago, Caryn and I told you about a new Thai/Chinese/Japanese place that opened up in Murray Hill, called East Pacific. While I’m not too crazy on places that offer different cuisines, this spot was a solid takeout spot, with huge portions – so big I was often able to make two [...]

Last night we were invited to Exchange Bar and Grill in honor of its official opening (it’s been in a soft-opening stage for a few weeks). Laura had a prior commitment, so I headed over with McKenna (who does our design/tech stuff for the blog) to check out this new place. I’ve walked by it many, [...]
