Happy Hour at Miriam in Park Slope
Miriam is a beloved Israeli restaurant that’s anchored a corner of Fifth Avenue in Park Slope since 2005, run by chef Rafael “Rafi” Hasid. It’s best known for brunch — served every day — with a menu of shakshuka, burekas, malawach, and challah French toast that draws weekend waits.
Beyond brunch, it’s a warm, casual-elegant neighborhood spot for shareable Mediterranean and Middle Eastern plates, from lamb shawarma to hummus platters and falafel. A recent renovation added a lively wine bar, and the hospitality — the owner often greets guests himself — keeps regulars coming back after nearly two decades.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs weekdays, Monday through Friday from 4 to 6pm, with deals on select cocktails, wine, beer, and mezze. It’s an easy early-evening stop at the bar before the dinner crowd arrives.
The Room
The dining room is homey but lively, with a casual-elegant feel and a recently added wine bar that gives the front a bit more buzz. It’s the kind of warm neighborhood room that works as well for a weekend brunch table as it does for a low-key dinner or drinks with a group.
