Radio Restaurant: Tue–Fri 4–7pm Happy Hour at the Radio Hotel
Radio Restaurant has a happy hour Tuesday to Friday, 4–7pm, at 2420 Amsterdam Ave in Washington Heights. It has its own Happy Hour Menu, but the prices aren’t posted, so there is no number to quote.
The verdict: a real window, an unproven deal. Four weekday afternoons from 4pm is a useful slot for the 181 St end of Washington Heights, where choices are thin. The catch is the blank price list: nothing published says what a beer, a cocktail or a plate costs during those three hours, so don’t plan around a figure. Monday is out entirely, with the kitchen closed, and so are Saturday and Sunday.
The Happy Hour
- Days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
- Hours: 4–7pm
- Menu: a separate Happy Hour Menu sits alongside the breakfast, dinner and brunch menus. The deals on it aren’t printed.
The Room
Radio Restaurant sits in the Radio Hotel and serves what it calls New American food with a Latin twist, with Dominican touches running through the menu and the room. It also runs DJ nights, weekend brunch parties and private events, with semi-private and full-buyout options. The bar is open noon–9pm Monday, noon–10pm Tuesday to Thursday, noon–11pm Friday and Saturday, and noon–10pm Sunday. Dinner starts at 4pm every day except Monday. Brunch is Saturday noon–3pm and Sunday noon–5pm, and breakfast runs Wednesday to Sunday, 7–10:45am. The nearest train is 181 St (1).
