Al Vicoletto (Happy Hour)


9 East Seventeenth Street
(between Fifth Avenue and Broadway)


If you’re looking for a happy hour spot where you can have a conversation in a relaxed environment around the Union Square area, al Vicoletto is an excellent option.
 
Al Vicoletto is a very pretty spot with modern décor and a back-garden patio.

 
Even their bathroom has pretty lighting!

 
Happy Hour drinks are $7. Unfortunately, the options are limited with either a red or a white. As it was a warm, April evening, I chose their white, which was a Gavi.


To accompany our drink we ordered their cheese trio for $15. For our cheese, we chose: fontina, taleggio, and pecorino di fossa. Very pretty cheese board!


But as a wonderful surprise, before our cheese board arrived, the chef gave us complimentary amuse bouche finger sandwiches. It reminded me of the high-tea cucumber sandwiches that I had in London.

 
Overall, a pleasant, relaxing experience!



Pros:
Comfortable atmosphere.
Excellent people-watching spot.
Nice, large, and clean bathroom.



Cons:
More happy hour wine options.


Final Thoughts
Must come back to try a full meal.
