Happy Hour Eats: Brinkley's Station, New York, NY

Happy Hour. In the suburbs, it's elusive. In the city, it's the norm. So when offered the chance to partake with E & L, two old friends, I could not resist.

Brinkley Station is not the best happy hour spot. There are no $5 cocktails here nor are there 10 cent wings.  But if location, drinks, food and especially, company are good, then what should price really matter?

Drinks are small, but good.  Seriously one of the smallest wine glasses I have ever seen. E, however, swears by the their Dark and Stormy. And both E & L had some kinds of Pork Ale.  Beer and pork products - how could one go wrong. 

Appetizers were a must. Both E & L had been before and recommended the burgers. We opted for the smaller portion of sliders. The serving came as 2 small and flavorful burgers complete with cheese, pickles, sauce and mini onion rings.  2 were not enough.  It may have been a better idea to just get the full size burger or two orders of sliders or both.  

The macaroni and cheese topped with breadcrumbs was just decadent. How could one go wrong with the blend of fontina, parmigiano and pecorino topped with breadcrumbs. Never has licking the bowl been so right. 

And then just as fast as it began, it ended. Happy hour is too short.  

Good thing they can happen every night.

Until our next Berger,
KLB
