Tartinery Olympic Tower: Half-Off Wine and Spritz on Fifth Ave
Tartinery’s Olympic Tower café-bar at 645 5th Ave in Midtown takes half off wine by the glass, all beers and the Seasonal Spritz, Monday to Friday from 4pm to closing and all day Saturday and Sunday. It’s a short weekday window, because the café closes at 7pm Monday to Thursday and 6pm on Friday.
The verdict: the weekend is the better bet. Half off applies from the 8am opening to the 5pm close, and a $17 Bordeaux at half price is a fair deal. The catch is the weekday clock. Leave work at 6pm and you have an hour on Friday, not an evening.
The Happy Hour
- Monday to Thursday: 4pm to close (7pm)
- Friday: 4pm to close (6pm)
- Saturday and Sunday: all day (8am–5pm)
- What’s half off: wine by the glass, all beers, the Seasonal Spritz
Full prices, before the discount: wine by the glass $13–$17 (Malbec and Pinot Grigio $13, Bordeaux and Chardonnay $17), can beers $10–$11, draft beers $11, signature spritzes $16.50–$17. Bellinis and mimosas are $14 and aren’t listed as part of the deal.
The Room
Tartinery is a French-leaning café-bar started in 2010 by Parisian Nicolas Dutko, built around the tartine. This is the Olympic Tower branch, one of six in Manhattan, serving breakfast through dinner alongside Irving Farm coffee, salads and grain bowls. It doesn’t take reservations. The nearest trains are 5 Av/53 St (E/F) and Lexington Av/53 St (6/E/F).
