87 Happy Hours and Counting!
Today 9/8/09 I have 87 Happy Hours listed!
No. 9 Park, 9 Park St., Boston: Free yummy bar snacks including homemade potato chips topped with crème fraîche and caviar and
gougères (Wikipedia says a
gougère is French cuisine, "a savory choux pastry with cheese.")
I hate to admit this, but I have never been to No. 9 Park. People argue that it's the best restaurant in Boston, but on my small salary I have yet to splurge and go. However now that I am aware of the free bar bites you may see me on a stool with a dirty martini VERY soon!
Kickass Cupcakes, Highland Ave, Somerville: Cocktail Cupcake Happy Hour! Usually on the last Monday of every month, 5-7pm.
Free tastings of mini cupcakes with cocktail inspired flavors.
Last month's featured cocktail cupcakes Singapore Sling, Chocolate Amaretto Kiss and Margarita.
I live down the street from Kickass Cupcakes and I can attest to their godliness. Made with all natural ingredients, these meticulously crafted works of art are heaven in a folded paper cup. Did anyone go to the June 29 Happy Hour? How was it??
75 Chestnut, 75 Chestnut St., Boston: Free Cookie Night! Tuesday night at 5 pm, the restaurant tests out a new cookie recipe. And you can even bring in your favorite cookie recipe to be shared, and they will prepare it and put it to the test. The best cookie recipe will win dinner for two at 75 Chestnut!
I love the burgers at 75 Chestnut.... so hopefully the cookies are good too!
Gaslight, 560 Harrison Ave, Boston: Monday through Friday from 5-6:30 p.m. $5.95 cocktails and $2 Pabst beers, plus feast on free chef's whim bar bites. The special is only available at the bar.
The gaslight has AMAZING food and its very reasonable. Plus the ambiance is fantastic with floor to ceiling subway tile. Entrees are in the $20 range. My boyfriend and I dined there for Valentines day this year and got a bottle of wine, and appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert for under $130! I can't say wnough about the food, service and value. This place ranks in my top ten!
