Great Escape: A Longer Happy Hour

We've got a happy hour where you can take your time sampling tasty food and drink.

Ah, happy hours. Filled with lovely food, refreshing drink—and both at discounted prices. The only downside? Their short duration.

The thoughtful folks at have solved this for us. Their happy hours go till 7 p.m. so you don’t have to try to drink or eat as much as humanely possible in two hours.

From Monday through Thursday, you can sample the Latin wines and hand-blended cocktails for $6; small, Latin-Asian-inspired plates for $5; and beers for $3 at this restaurant.

So relax in Zengo's chic-but-comfy Bar Lounge with its scrumptious tempura black cod fritters while you sip on the Hibiscus Mojito. Or choose the yucca fries and the Prickly Pear Cairpirinna. So many tasty choices, luckily you have three hours.
