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.

To celebrate its 5th anniversary (and an upcoming Soho location), Pera is offering the below menu on weekends during brunch and dinner through the end of the year. For $29 [...]

According to our friends at NYC Daily Deals, today you can scoop up $1 Margherita slices at Pizza by Cer Te. Pizza by Cer Te is on 56th Street between Lex and Park, so this makes a great affordable lunch/dinner if you are in Midtown. Please note there is a limit of [...]

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 [...]

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).

If you’re looking for something new to do in the city, consider the Sony Wonder Technology Lab, a four-story interactive technology and entertainment experience with cool exhibits that “bring technology and creativity together to make learning experiential, entertaining and fun.”
Sounds interesting to me, especially since admission is free! However, reservations are highly recommended and can [...]

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 [...]

If you commute in to NYC or happen to be near Grand Central tomorrow and Friday, swing by Vanderbilt Hall East. From 9 am – 7pm, you can enjoy free samples as part of NBC’s promotion for the new TV show, America’s Next Great Restaurant. Yup, this is the same show that is also [...]

As we’ve said time and time again, steakhouses are your best bet for a good Restaurant Week experience, and Rothmann’s Steakhouse and Grill was no exception.
