North Fork: $1.50 Oysters and $9 Cocktails on Christopher Street
North Fork’s happy hour runs Sunday–Thursday 4–7pm and Friday–Saturday 4–6pm at 122 Christopher St, on the corner of Bedford in the West Village: $9 cocktails, $7 wine, $6 beer and $1.50 oysters with any drink.
The verdict: a short, sharp West Village happy hour built around oysters. A half-dozen is $9 and a dozen is $18, against $18 and $34 on the dinner menu, and the $9 happy hour cocktails sit well under the $17–$19 regular cocktail list. The catches: the oysters need a drink purchase, Friday and Saturday end an hour earlier, and the happy hour food list is priced the same as dinner, so the savings are in the drinks and the oysters.
