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.

This week marks Malaysian Restaurant Week, meaning you get to try some delicious Malaysian food (a blend of blend of Malay, Chinese, and Indian food traditions) at great prices! A three-course prix fixe menu is only $20.10 at most participating restaurants, while some only offer two-courses for the same price (or we think it’s for the [...]

Last night, Katharine of NYC Recession Diary invited me to the kickoff party for Rioja Restaurant Week at Yerba Buena. These special two weeks kicks off today, and runs through the 27th. Wondering what makes these two weeks different than the usual Restaurant Week? A glass of wine. More than 25 restaurants in the [...]

Today marks the beginning of a special kind of Restaurant Week – LUCKYRICE, sponsored by the LUCKYRICE Culinary Council. From May 3 – 9th, you can check out some Asian restaurants (and some “not-so-Asian” restaurants, according to the site) to sample some Asian-inspired dishes at a reduced price. The prices really range, so you’ll have to [...]

Monday kicked off Restaurant Week, and I spent it with my roommate Al and our friend Alex at Smith & Wollensky. Now we’re all looking for a little something different when it comes to this infamous week – Al and I appreciate a good value, while Alex would rather enjoy a meal she couldn’t [...]

While I sometimes wonder if Restaurant Week is truly a deal, I’m a sucker for it. There’s nothing I love more than scouring over menus, picking out places to eat and enjoying a 3-course meal.
Tomorrow, January 12, reservations will open for Restaurant Week. This year, Restaurant Week will be held from January 25-February [...]

Yeah, the rain sucks (I’m currently wearing a co-worker’s gym shorts so my jeans can dry while hanging over my cubicle wall…), but there is something worth smiling about – Celebrate Mexico Now. In its sixth year, this festival celebrates contemporary Mexican art and culture through dance, film, literature, music, and our favorite, cuisine. [...]

We love Thai over here at 89thandbroke.com, or as I should say, 89thandthai.com. So when my friend Kristin mentioned that she saw an ad in an issue of Metro for a thai restaurant week, I couldn’t start googling faster than you can say pad thai.
I wasn’t able to find too much about the [...]
