Offering $4 drafts, Fresh Salt serves one of the most affordable happy hour deals in the in the Financial District. Heck, even outside of happy hour, draft beer goes for $8, comparable to most discounted beer prices in NYC.
Based on my experience, the service can be hit-or-miss but the cocktails make up for it. The place gets packed after work hours, so arrive early or plan to spend the evening probing seats. The bites are great too, perfect for sharing.
Unpopular opinion. Unpopular opinion. The best food in NYC is found at the places with zero Instagram presence.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
