The best time of the day—aka Happy Hour—is back and better than ever at The Shops & Restaurants. So grab some friends or colleagues and grab a cocktail or two at any of Hudson Yards’ prime spots. Can’t decide where to start? Here’s a little guidance.
For a Regal Experience
Pull up a seat for “The Queen’s Hour” in the gracious bar and lounge at Queensyard from 5-7pm Monday through Friday. On tap: $5 draft Narragansett, plus $10 pours from top-shelf bottles like Spring 44 Vodka, Tanqueray Gin 10, Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon, Espolon Tequila and $12 house cocktails. Bar bites include confit olives, chips with spicy mayo and smashed avocado with sweet potato chips for $8.
If You're Feeling Peckish
Naked Tomato’s amazing drink offers—$5 beer, $10 house wine and $12 cocktails—are matched by a can’t-be-beat snack option: their Mezze Sampler offers a perfectly sharable taste of four delicious seasonal small plates and two pitas for $12. Available every day from 4-6pm.
To Satisfy that Wanderlust
At Mercado Little Spain, Sangria Hour is Monday through Thursday, from 4-7pm. There’s $6 glasses of fruity spiced wine on tap, $4 drafts of Vermút (Spanish vermouth)—both red and white—served with a splash of club soda and an $8 “Virgen de la Paloma,” made with tequila, lime, grapefruit, club soda. Plus, every Wednesday enjoy 50% off bottles of wine. And don’t forget to order from Mercado Little Spain’s renowned selection of delicious tapas.
To Enjoy Taco Tuesdays (and Wednesdays)
At Ana Wine & Eatery, mid-week Happy Hour taco fillings include chicken, carnitas, mojo mushroom, skirt steak and shrimp, all also available as quesadillas. Wash them down with a $10 Ana Margarita, $8 beers, $12 cocktails and $10 wines. You and the gang can also split a pizza big enough for 8 people ($48 for the pie) or slices for $6.
