"Mercy offers cheap Happy Hour specials on weekdays until 8pm, it’s about a block off Union Square, and it’s one of the few bars in the area with outdoor space. Despite all that, it’s rarely swamped, probably because it’s at the base of a brownstone on a side street, and when you first walk in, it just looks like a small dive. Order delivery or bring in sandwiches from Daily Provisions, and use this place when you need a convenient spot to meet friends coming from different parts of the city." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
