I'll Have One of Everything!

Tapas are one of the best food concepts in the world. 

Tons of little plates of food, enabling one to sample a breadth of options from the chef – genius.

The Spaniards sure are smart (dude, they get to take siestas every day!)

  

When we feel like enjoying this smorgasbord of eats we like to hit up Tasca on 3^rd street. Yes, this place isn’t cheap, however there’s a pricing loophole that we like to take advantage of and it's called Happy Hour (duh.)

Tapas at Tasca are usually around $6 - $16 per plate (with full sized entrees available for around $25/ea), but during Happy Hour there is a special menu of dishes and drinks from $2.50 - $5.00/ea (including $3 Sangria – Yum!)

Best part of all this: Tasca serves their Happy Hour menu ALL NIGHT on Mondays.... I.E. Tonight... I.E. Call right now and make a reservation so you can enjoy this delicious, and discounted, food with some delicious, and discounted, wine or sangria.

Quick note: some friends went here on a rainy night last month and apparently Happy Hour is only available at the bar and on the patio – but if its raining, Happy Hour is JUST at the bar. Our recommendation: wait ‘til the weather is nice (like today) so you can ensure yourself a Happy Hour seat.

Hump Day Happy Hour!

Now that the LOST premiere is finally past us (thoughts anyone? I was just happy to get to see Jack's scruffy face again), we can get back to our weekday boozing schedule.

If you are looking for a fun happy hour to try tonight, head to Tinto's in West Hollywood for $5 tapas.  The deal is actually Monday-Wednesday so it is not hump day specific but it will the the last day to catch it this week. 

They have a selection of tapas for $5 and $6 glasses of sangria.  The place is usually on the pricier side so this is a great bargain especially if going with a group of friends, you can order an assortment of tapas and share (that's what tapas are meant for anyways right?).  Their $5 tapas last from 5pm - 11pm so you don't have to rush there right after work which is also a plus.

Just 2 more days to Friday!
