amNY Watch: Not Clear on This “Happy Hour” Thing
March 18, 2008 – 8:43 amamNewYork has run a god-awful “Happy Hour” section every Tuesday that lists four marginally-good to completely-douchey bars in a neighborhood and their happy hour deals. They’ve managed to screw this feature up before, but now they’re just phoning it in:
And what are those “cheap drinks?” Well, the “special” on Killarney Rose’s web site boasts domestic half-yards of beer for $6 and imports for $7. A half-yard of beer is about a pint, so that “special” is pretty standard, if not a little overpriced, for New York City. Regardless, they’re definitely not cheap, and it’s certainly not a deal.

Yeah, but it’s down in the Financial District. Everything’s expensive down there. I wandered into the TGI Friday’s on Broadway once, and a burger was somewhere between $15 and $20. At a TGI Friday’s.
But who am I kidding? amNewYork still does suck.

What a half-assed job of describing the happy hour. For equal effect, they could have just reviewed it as follows:
“In this enclosed space, humans consume liquids orally during hours of sunlight. At night, the same humans lay prostrate on the ground and do not consume very much liquid. Furthermore, they do not receive particularly good value for their money. We recommend it.”
