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.

Interested in a great brunch this weekend? We’ve reviewed a number of places here, but the brunch special at Don Pedro’s recently caught my eye: $19 for a 3-course brunch AND all-you-can-drink sangria (while you eat, so you can’t linger for hours).
I’m not sure if I’d want to eat so much food while tossing back bottomless drinks, but [...]

I’m always interested in exploring new bars in the neighborhood, so I headed over to Kinsale Tavern on Friday night with my boyfriend for some drinks and bar food. It was anything but rowdy on a Friday, but that actually suited us just fine because we wanted to talk and be able to hear [...]

On my walk home tonight I stumbled upon City Swiggers, a craft beer shop and tasting room on 86th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Opened a month ago, City Swiggers has gained some recognition among beer gurus, but it’s great for anyone who loves to try new things. My boyfriend is a huge fan of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I love free food during happy hour (or any hour for that matter)! Marty O’Brien’s on the Upper East Side offers a long, albeit somewhat early (for those with real jobs), happy hour from noon – 6:30 pm Monday – Friday. Patrons can enjoy 2 for 1 drinks AND free hot dogs! So if [...]

It’s the first Friday of the month, and I’m Not At Work (INAW) is celebrating with its usual free hour of an open bar for card members. This time it’s at Bullpen on the UES, and from 7-8 pm you can get unlimited Bud Light and well drinks. It’s worth heading over before and/or [...]
