"A maze of tents fills the back courtyard of this downtown favorite. Amaro’s popular happy hour still runs from 2 to 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. to close every day, with $4 to $7 treats like Bavarian cheese fondue and ricotta doughnuts served alongside similarly priced classic and draft cocktails. The regular menu includes elegant entrees like beef tenderloin medallions in a demi-glace served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Amaro’s rotating draft cocktails, like Midnight Sun sangria with bitter blood orange, Suze, ginger tea, and brown sugar, are the star of the show. Reservations are recommended and can be made by phone." - Rachel Pinsky
