1375 6th Ave - Midtown West 

212-765-6288

Whether it’s ladies night or just catching up with friends & family, 
Pazza Notte on 56th and 6th is a great hangout. 

This little eatery has a kind of loungy feeling to it that may be due to its 2 for 1 martini happy hours from 5pm to close! For me, this is a big selling point, seeing as how a typical martini in the city will run you around $12. The rules for Happy Hour @Pazza Notte--you have to order 2 of the same flavor, and they bring them both at the same time. You're definitely going to get a second one--why not save your server some trips?

They have one of the biggest selections of martini flavors I’ve ever seen. I like to order the lychee. They have plenty of other flavors, including white peach, mango and white chocolate.

So here's a quick rundown of why you should go!


1. I don’t know what it is about martinis, but they make you feel so much classier.

2. Food? My favorite item? A thin crust white pizza with mushrooms and truffle oil.
 Another crowd pleaser? The bruschetta, and even the free bread that’s put on the table. 

3. You can hear your friends talk: Want to catch up with friends and actually hear what they have to say? You can do so at Pazza Notte since this place isn’t nearly as loud as a bar 

4. Not rushed: I’ve had people show up halfway through pizza 
and martinis and order more food and drinks and the staff doesn’t get 
annoyed that they aren’t turning tables.

5. Location: Yes, it is in midtown (a place you should avoid) but that's what makes it great. A central spot for everyone to meet up after work or perfect before heading away from all the craziness of Times Square. To me, Pazza Notte solves that problem of “I’m in midtown with no idea where to go.”

SBF recommended!
