Better Late
Midnight is the new 5 p.m. at these late-night happy hours
Happy hour can be both alluring and irritating: Securing cheap drinks is often a race against the clock, as most deals end before the work whistle blows.
But for late-night toilers and revelers, these Manhattan drinking holes are flipping the happy-hour script by offering cut-rate beers and cocktails well past midnight:
Campo Hit this rustic Italian Upper West Sider after 11 p.m. any night for $7 grilled pizzas and two-for-one classic cocktails ($9), such as the corpse reviver or pisco sour. 2888 Broadway (between 112th and 113th sts.); 212-864-1143 or camponyc.com
Izakaya Ten Thursday through Saturday at this Chelsea Japanese gastropub, 11:30 p.m. marks the start of $5 sakes by the glass, as well as $20 off select bottles of sake and shochu. 207 10th Ave. (between 22nd and 23rd sts.); 212-627-7777 or izakayaten.com
Professor Thom's This East Village sports bar makes Sundays bearable with $3 domestic drafts and $4 wines and well drinks from 10 p.m. onward. 219 Second Ave. (between 13th and 14th sts.); 212-260-9480 or professorthoms.com
Allen & Delancey This luxe LES restaurant offers perhaps the finest bargain in town on Tuesdays, when the elegant, flavor-forward potions devised by Death & Co.'s Alex Day cost just $6 all night. You'll save serious cash, but remember to watch your consumption: Your real payment might be tomorrow's pounding head. 115 Allen St. (at Delancey St.); 212-253-5400 or allenanddelancey.net
