"The orange of Gritty’s fur reminded you of their terrible highlights, and you’ve been reliving a montage of every romantic moment since. Ditch work early and head to Pearl & Mary Oyster Bar for Happy Hour. Starting at 4pm and running through 7pm, the Midtown Village spot has everything from $5 beer, $6 wines, $2 oysters, $7 sandwiches, and a daily crudo. And since we particularly love all of the small plates at this fun seafood restaurant, you can just order a whole bunch, stay for dinner, and tell your new friends at the bar why you’re seriously, totally, and completely fine.
