Trophy Bar

Keep reading for seven more deals from places like Tailor and Centro Vinoteca.

An $8 happy-hour cocktail at this Italian hang (try the cucumber-gin martini) gets you a trio of bites, including a truffled deviled egg and a mini BLT (daily, 5–7pm). 74 Seventh Ave South at Barrow St (212-367-7470, centrovinoteca.com)
Lusso
When you’re all wings-and-popcorned out, slip into Lusso weekdays between 5 and 7pm and partake of Italian snacks such as mozzarella-anchovy skewers and herb-cheese focaccia. 331 West Broadway at Grand St (212-431-0131, lussonyc.com)

Shelley’s New York
Buy one stiff, cheap drink at this timeworn neighborhood tavern any day of the week and gain access to a perplexingly generous 5pm spread (last week there was sausage-packed pasta). 58-15 Woodside Ave at 58th St, Woodside, Queens (718-672-2571)
Port 41
Daily at Hell’s Kitchen dive Port 41, dirt-cheap beer comes with comped hot dogs and salty popcorn served by bikini-clad bartenders. High-end eats they’re not, but that’s not why you came, is it? 355 W 41st St between Eighth and Ninth Aves (212-947-1188)
Tailor
Eben Freeman’s eclectic cocktails—like the bubble-gum-flavored Bazooka—may not be cheap ($11–$13), but zippy curried popcorn helps to justify the splurge. 525 Broome St between Thompson St and Sixth Ave (212-334-5182, tailornyc.com)









How could you forget Rudy’s on 43rd & 9th? A Hell’s Kitchen institution with super cheap beer and unlimited free hot dogs. So disgustingly delicious.
