Rathbone's: Sure, it can be fun to be all trendy and cool at flashy bars with fancy ambiance, but it can also be a drag mingling with pretentious hipsters and dropping major dollars on drinks. So when all you want is no-frills fun, why not head uptown to Rathbone’s? This Upper East Side institution has held court in the same spot for decades, and in a neighborhood known for its monotonous nightlife scene, it’s managed to last. Happy hour deals (4pm-7pm) include Two-for-Tuesdays (7pm-11pm), when you and a friend eat for the price of one, 25-cent wings on Wednesdays, and $1 margaritas on Thursdays. After a few weekends in the Meatpacking District, there’s something refreshing about sipping a cheap beer and bobbing your head to a cheesy DJ’s playlist at Rathbones. |
