Looking to relax and have a cocktail after a long day of seeing the city? Lots of places offer “happy hour” specials on drinks (and food). The happy hour time frame varies from establishment to establishment, but it’s usually somewhere between late afternoon and early evening. If you’re going to be in the Times Square area around that time of day, the Times Square Alliance has a “Happy Hour in Times Square” page on their website that lists current deals.
