Smith & Wollensky: Power Hour

The old-guard steakhouse bar at 3rd and 49th runs a genuine power-hour happy hour before the dinner rush. Bar menu discounts cover cocktails, select wines, and a tight list of raw bar items. The clientele skews toward finance and legal — this is a working power hour in the classic Midtown sense, not a gimmick. Arrive at 5pm for elbow room.
