Pazza Notte: Two Glasses of Wine for $18 on Sixth Avenue
Pazza Notte’s happy hour is a wine one: Monday to Friday, 12 to 6pm, two glasses for $18, at 1375 6th Ave in Midtown. Its cocktail menu also lists 2-for-1 martinis at $22 the pair and 2-for-1 bubbles at $20 the pair, with no hours attached.
The verdict: the wine is the deal that’s actually spelled out. The by-the-glass list is $15 a glass, so two for $18 works out to $9 each, 40% off, but only until 6pm on weekdays. The martini offer is $11 a drink when you order a pair, but the menu doesn’t say when it runs. The catch: the menu doesn’t name which wines the $18 covers.
The Happy Hour
The Vino Happy Hour runs Mon–Fri, 12–6pm: 2 glasses for $18. The by-the-glass list is Cabernet Sauvignon, Rosé, Pinot Noir, Chianti, Montepulciano, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Prosecco, each listed at $15.
The cocktail menu also lists, with no days or hours given:
- 2 for 1 Martinis, $22 the pair: eleven of them, from The Hipster (strawberry, vodka, basil) to Mrs. Robinson (gin, olive brine, queen olives).
- 2 for 1 Bubbles, $20 the pair: Italian Sunset, French 75, House Bellini, Spanish Fly, Kir Royale and Starry Night.
Martinis and bubbles in a pair must be the same flavor and served at the same time. Parties of six or more get 20% gratuity added.
The Room
Pazza Notte bills itself as an Italian bistro and bar, established 2000. There’s an outdoor garden patio on Sixth Avenue and a sidewalk café, and it’s walk-in friendly with first-come seating. The food menu runs on thin Neapolitan-crust pizza, $25 for the Margherita up to $28, plus pastas and a chicken section. It’s open Sunday and Monday 12pm–9:30pm and Tuesday to Saturday 12pm–10:30pm. The 57 St (M) and 57 St–7 Av (N/Q/R/W) stations are the closest trains. More in our Midtown happy hour guide and best Italian restaurants.
