New Yorkers traditionally shun those who "happy hour". We prefer to regroup, redress and refresh after work (a.k.a. "the Disco-Nap"). However, if you must, here are some places you mustn’t miss….But please don’t ask for drink specials…This ain’t Ft.Lauderdale.
**NEW**Wet Bar
Temple Bar   Raoul's    Cipriani Soho    10th Street Lounge
Royalton Hotel    Grand Bar    
WET BAR
130 E. 39th St.
(212) 592-8888
In the utra-chic new W Court Hotel, this little bar is where the buzz is at for that after work scene. Very hetero, very aggressive and very fun, if you’re in the mood to be hit on left right and center. It’s another Randy Gerber venue, so you know the drill. Ladies: Show up, position yourself right next to the dark handsome stranger with the Rolex, dig ineffectively through your purse and then ask for a light. Men: have matches handy.
