"Ask any New Yorker: Happy hour isn't what it used to be. The rise of remote work, paired with thinner margins for restaurants has left the most jubilant time of day, well, a bit lacking in recent years. Luckily, some restaurants and bars are still trying to entice the after work card with tempting specials on food and beverage that bring back the age old tradition of happy hour in New York City. Here's where to seek out some of the most unique happy hours across Manhattan and Brooklyn:"
"Why wait for the end of business hours for happy hour? The bar at Aqua in Flatiron offers a daily happy hour from noon until 6 p.m. Wines by the glass are $10, classic cocktails go for $12, and beers start at $8. A $20 sushi and sake pairing menu plus spicy tuna or shimeji sushi with a chilled glass of sake are a value better than most takeout."
"At Cafe Commerce, Chef Harold Moore's uptown revival of his once West Village gem, guests can indulge in $1 Island Creek oysters between 3 p.m. - 5 p.m. on weekdays, with the purchase of a glass of wine or cocktail at the bar or on the patio. Yes, there are a few restrictions, but a $1 oyster is hard to find in the city these days."
Multiple Manhattan and Brooklyn venues maintain value-driven happy hours with specific time windows and discounted items. A Greenpoint Vietnamese spot runs Golden Hour Monday–Thursday 5–7 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 10 p.m.–12 a.m. with $8 beers, $12 spritzes or classic cocktails, $50 wines by the bottle, and Vietnamese finger foods. Aqua in Flatiron hosts daily noon–6 p.m. deals: $10 wines, $12 cocktails, $8 beers, and a $20 sushi-and-sake pairing. A Lower East Side hotel offers $100 flash tattoos plus a drink on Fridays. Midtown and other restaurants provide afternoon drink specials and signature value offerings.
