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.

According to Chick-fil-A, tomorrow is Cow Appreciation Day and the only way to properly celebrate such a bizarre occasion is to dress as a cow from “head to hoof.” This only seems logical.

Earlier this month, Caryn (thoughts in italics) and I were invited to a press preview of Milk Street Café. This is essentially a food hall (fancy way of us saying cafeteria) located in the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street that is opening on Thursday. There are several different stations inside the hall – [...]

LivingSocial is launching Instant Deals, an iPhone or Android app that allows you to find immediately available deals within a 0.5 mile radius using your smartphone (think Tenka). I can get frustrated having to wait a few days until a deal goes through or closes before I can redeem my voucher, so this is [...]

Caryn and I don’t see each other nearly as often as we’d like, so when she was by my office the other day, she suggested we meet up for lunch. Since we’re both bargain hunters, Spunto was the perfect spot for a sit-down lunch because of its affordable lunch menu.
Now Spunto is the [...]

I loved Gigi’s for lunch when I was working just a few blocks away, and I especially miss their unlimited salad bar toss-ins (they have the best low-fat Balsamic dressing…sounds strange, but it’s true).
