Valdari Bayside: Happy Hour Mon–Fri 12–7pm, $10 Cocktails
Valdari, an Italian restaurant with a rooftop at 214-26 41st Avenue in Bayside, runs happy hour Monday to Friday from noon to 7pm at the bar and selected tables: $10 cocktails, $8 sangria, $5 drafts, $10 wine and food from $6.
The verdict: seven hours, every weekday, with a full printed menu, is a strong happy hour for Bayside. $5 drafts and $6 arancini make it an easy late lunch. The catch is the seating rule: it’s the bar and “selected tables,” not the whole dining room.
