Okay, so I didn't take Spanish in high school so all you are going to get is "beuno" out of me vocabulary wise. I will however give you a great place to go for margaritas, tapas and the best happy hour I have found yet.
Agozar! on Bowery (and Bleecker) is a Cuban restaurant that has two-for-one drinks AND tapas from 5 to 8 every day. (The only catch is that happy hour only takes place in the bar area, which consists of ample bar space and tables. I have never had an issue finding a place to sit, so it doesn't bother me at all.) I am a bit of a margarita lush, so I tend to stick with those (they even have delish flavored margas), but I hear the mojitos hold there own as well. Agozar! also serves dinner, but to be honest, I say who needs dinner when you can just order tapas with your drinks?! Drinks are around $10, which is normally pricey but since you are getting two, it evens out, and tapas are $7-$10 (again, you are getting TWO for that price). I usually go with a friend and we split the tapas, so we each end up paying around $15 for two drinks each and two tapas to share. Pretty good!
Two things worth noting are that you can choose different drinks for your two-for-ones, and the tapas are pretty decently sized and I think can definitely act as dinner.
Speaking of tapas, you have to try the calamari. It is super crispy and has dominican honey (didn't even know that existed until my first sample here) drizzled over it, giving it a slightly sweet yet spicy taste. My favorite thing I have had on the tapas menu so far.
So, next time you have a hankering for decent drinks and some light food, head to Agozar!
p.s. I swear the exclamation is in the name of the restaurant- I am excited about the place, but not that much...
