In addition to constantly checking in with the Best App On The Planet, Cocktail Compass, which gives you up to the minutes info about Happy Hours in your area, I’ve just heard about a few other food and drink deals in my hood. First stop Olea in Fort Greene where you can indulge in some early bird eating and drinking. The Mediterranean Taverna offers a generous Happy Hour with half price wine, drafts sparklers, bottled beer and Sangria. And you won’t leave hungry, or sober because there’s a selection of $3-4 tapas and $1.50 oysters. It’s perfect for a hot lazy day and hard to beat a dozen oysters and some Lambrusco. Next Stop Cornelius, the Prospect Heights bar and restaurant where they’re offering a similar deal. From 5:30 to 7:00 it’s blue points for a buck and $4 drafts and even if you order another side or a slider, it’s good deal for some very good food. Then keep walking up Vanderbilt and cut across to James, one of my favorite restaurants with fantastic drinks but a bit tough on the wallet. Now through Labor Day take advantage of a $30 three course prix fixe daily from 5:30 -7:00. So grab your grandma or anyone else who doesn’t care for night owl dining and dig in and drink up. Or lap yourself and stay out for the second round of Happy Hours that start up at 10pm.
