This Eclectic East Village Happy Hour Spot is Still Under the Radar

Mary in Manhattan

A very interesting happy hour spot is tucked away in a little nook within a corner of the East Village. Between the French-Mediterranean cuisine and the organic wines, it’s definitely a place to go when you’re looking for a break from the usual.

Grab the N, R, Q or 4, 5, 6 trains…or the L…or the F I suppose…WELL WHATEVER. Just get on a train and go after work to have a fab time.

Ruffian Wine Bar & Chef’s Table is an extremely new (opened in January) spot in the East Village. I was invited to a tasting of the new Five4Five deal that just started in February. It’s a discount on Michelin caliber bites between 5-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Each of the dishes are $5, and they are slammin. Yes, I said slammin. Because I was literally blown away by the Cauliflower and Miso soup.

They’re doing it…

WRTING 148: THINGS THAT MATTER

A MAN OF ACTION

[11.46pm-12.00am, 15min]

For long-term growth, I must work on three issues daily: math, writing, and exercise. Devote an hour per day for each issue. I may not see payoffs in the short run. But if i do every day, the efforts must pay off in the long term.

More difficult part is to build the social network/community. Currently my contacts are mainly my coworkers. It is fine professionally, but they won’t impact my personal life much. On that level, I must take the initiative, reach out, and build new ones.

First, I should make good use of UCI. Attend seminars often. Also, check out the library for work. Do it next week. Second, participate in community activities. For example, find people to play basketball. Third, check out online communities. Again, not every attempt will be successful. But without trying, you will never know.

You must act, deliberately.
