Unoriginal Noodles, South Slope: Martini-and-Snack Happy Hour From 4:30pm
Unoriginal Noodles, a ramen and noodle bar at 687 6th Ave at 20th Street, runs happy hour Wednesday to Sunday from its 4:30pm opening: $3 edamame, and a martini with a snack for $20 or $25.
The verdict: a small deal done well. The mochi fried tofu is $9 and the sake or lychee martini is $15, so the $20 pairing saves $4; the karaage-and-martini combo saves $5. Eat the noodles afterwards.
The Happy Hour
- Edamame: $3 (regular $5)
- Mochi fried tofu + martini: $20
