Bryant Park is Midtown's backyard, and the happy hour scene around it matches the office-worker energy. Bars, hotel lounges, and restaurant bars along Sixth Avenue and 42nd Street run weekday specials timed for the 5PM rush. The park itself offers seasonal drinks in the warmer months. One of the easier spots in Midtown to find a deal, with plenty of options within a two-block radius.
