They’re a rare invitation to eat, drink and be merry in times when joy can seem elusive.
There’s a sweet happy hour featuring half-priced macarons at Montclair’s Miette Patisserie & Confiserie, where store manager Daysi Dagio holds a plate of them this week, from 5 to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.A lot has changed since the pandemic started. Crime is up. So is the price of almost everything we consume. Did COVID kill the happy hour, though? It may be on life support, but you can still find good deals on food and drinks at dozens of area establishments.
Some of the best happy hour buys are in the ‘burbs. Pleasant Hill lives up to its name with an array of neighborhood hotspots. You can even get a healthy “cocktail” of vitamins, minerals and fluids at Hummingbird Nursing Hydration and Wellness . Hummingbird is one of a growing number of wellness clinics that offer IV hydration for everything from vitamin deficiency to dehydration.
Craving a quieter place to nibble and sip? Tzunun has Oaxaca quesadillas for $7 during happy hour, along with authentic offerings like Mexican street corn ribs and cactus salad. Drink specials include $7 margaritas and $6 draft beer and wine. Of all the places to enjoy an early evening, the most well-heeled happy hour is in the Park Bistro at the Lafayette Park Hotel . The same quality food that’s served in the restaurant is deeply discounted during happy hour, along with some wonderful wines and an ambience that’s classy and calming.
