"WHEN: Monday-Saturday, 5-6pm THE DEAL: $7 hummus, $7 cocktails Happy Hour can be just as much about the food as the drinks, so meet your friends on the patio of Lyra for things like hummus, za’atar-spiced french fries with Lebanese garlic toum, and a bowl of aleppo butter chickpeas served over pita chips and topped with tahina labneh. (Yes, you should dip the fries in the hummus.) Lyra’s cocktails take classics and infuse them with Middle Eastern flavors that really complement the food—they do a riff on a mule featuring gin, hibiscus, and cardamom, and add cinnamon bitters to their bourbon Old Fashioned." - adam sloan
