One of the City’s Best Burgers? Not Sure About That, But It Was Definitely Good

By Caryn, on August 13, 2010, 7:11 am

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 [...]

Coming Up! Free Food and Drinks at The Irish Exit!

By Caryn, on July 13, 2010, 5:43 am

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 [...]

Deal Alert! More World Cup Specials!

By Caryn, on June 24, 2010, 3:36 am

In honor of the US’s victory yesterday, we thought we’d share a few more World Cup specials around the city (again, these are not exactly hard to come by, so we’re just picking out a few that we like).

One of our favorites is at Exchange Bar & Grill in Gramercy. If you’re watching [...]

Deal Alert! $9 Gets You $20 Worth of Atomic Wings!

By Caryn, on May 19, 2010, 8:04 am

While we don’t usually single out deal websites’ specific offers on the blog, this one is way too good not to share. Just yesterday LivingSocial ran a deal that we tweeted about - $20 worth of Atomic Wings for $10. I’m a HUGE fan of Atomic Wings (for my thoughts, check out one of my first blog posts when [...]

“No Crap On Tap” - A Motto To Live By (Except for when the “crap” is really cheap of course)

By Caryn, on March 19, 2010, 5:42 am

A few of us were looking forward to the Yelp Elite event to preview Zengo a week or so ago, but unfortunately it was postponed because Zengo was unable to secure its liquor license in time. To drown our sorrows, we expanded our little group and headed over to Rattle n’ Hum Bar, [...]

Deal Alert! Super Bowl Sunday Specials!

By Caryn, on February 5, 2010, 5:09 am

Naturally nearly every bar in town is touting some special to attract the crowds this Sunday. You’ll be able to find $4 pints, half-priced drinks, etc., just about anywhere. However, we noticed a few deals that seemed to be particularly good if you’re planning on kicking back a bunch of beers and eating [...]

First - and Last - Time at Limerick House

By Laura, on October 23, 2009, 2:17 am

You know a restaurant is bad when you show up a few drinks in, and find the food to be disgusting.

Wednesday night after consuming a few cocktails at the StyleFixx party, Caryn and several of our friends decided to find a place for dinner. Starving, we stumbled into the Limerick House, on 23rd [...]

Flip a Coin, Win Free Drinks

By Laura, on July 14, 2009, 1:50 am

Last Tuesday, I decided to visit an old favorite bar, Flight 151, down in Chelsea. While Flight 151 has a variety of specials throughout the week, what really attracted me to the bar on a Tuesday is that it’s flip night. For those unfamiliar, on Tuesday beginning at 7 p.m. through 1 a.m., every [...]

Try This Trick: Map to Free Bar Snacks

By Caryn, on June 29, 2009, 7:32 am

I love being thrifty and can’t understand why someone would pay full price for anything if they don’t have to. We at 89th and Broke are always scouring the Web for new deals and resources to help our like-minded friends. Just the other day our co-worker, Alicia, sent me the link to a new [...]

Great Nachos, But Not the Absolute BEST that NYC Has to Offer

By Caryn, on May 15, 2009, 7:58 am

We at 89th and Broke are huge nacho fans, and to date we’ve found the Wharf’s to be the best. But we’re always open to new possibilities, and it’s our open-mindedness that led Alicia and I to Professor Thoms one night to try their much-hyped nachos.

We enjoyed the happy hour specials ($3 domestic [...]
