NYC's best happy hour snacks

Follow the “On Air” sign subtly illuminating Sake Bar Decibel’s facade down a short staircase daily from 6pm to 7pm for a long list of terrific bar snacks for $10 or less. Get gyoza and shumai for $6, karaage for $8 and sansai udon for $10. Pair them with $6 saketinis, sake highballs and lychee martinis. 

Best of the City award winner Kokomo’s Koko hour runs from 4pm to 7pm Tuesday through Thursday, when coconut curry mussels with garlic bread, seafood fritters, croquettes, wings and flatbread pizzas are all $10 each. Frozen rum punch and Margaritas are also $10. 

Build-your-own mini-raw bar plate at one of NYC's best new restaurants of 2021 every day from 5pm–7pm. Sidney’s Five has $1.50 clams and $2 shrimp and oysters during happy hour, plus a few $4 beers and $10 martinis. Unlimited popcorn is also available for $5. 

This romantic wine bar serves a 5” quiche Lorraine, Hungarian paprika cheese spread and a Cammembert snack for $6 each until 6pm all week long. Select beer and wine pours start at the same price. 

Choose from tinga pollo, al pastor and vegan tacos with chayote, zucchini, carrots and black beans when they’re $9 a pair Monday-Friday from 5pm to 7pm. You can also get croquetas for $8 and an order of chips, salsa and guacamole for $9 during happy hour at Leyenda. Draft Margaritas and palomas are $10 and micheladas are $10 at the same time.

This spot skews fancy, but you can check it out for a little less cash at happy hour from 5pm-6:30pm Tuesday-Friday. Try the cacio e pepe fritti and the crostini with burrata, black fig and prosciutto for $10 each, or slake your sweet tooth with the $8 bombolone with chocolate sauce and vanilla anglaise.

Assemble your layers and head to B61’s sidewalk for specials Monday through Friday from 4pm to 6pm when al pastor tacos are $5, a half-dozen wings are $6 and a “pile of” nachos is $10. “Pint-size” (that means large in this case!) frozen and large margaritas are also $10. 

Have a taste of Vinatería’s grilled broccolini with chimichurri, bacalao croquettes and polenta fries for $8 each or crispy Brussels sprouts for $9 each day from 4pm to 7pm. Your choice of six $8 cocktails, $7 wine and $5 beer are also available.
