If you live around a major city, there are happy-hour deals galore! Happy hours usually run from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. depending on the restaurant. By eating at your favorite restaurant during this time, you can save money, try a number of different dishes, and be full! For example, I live in the DC Metro area, a city with a high-cost of living. I can get free chips and salsa, a plate of fried calamari for $3.00, southwest rolls for $5.00, Asian-style wings for $5.00, Austin-style wings for $3.00, and whole lot more! Ordering two plates of anything is enough for two. Pair these dishes with drink specials, such as martinis for $5.00, and I've had a luxuriant meal-for-two for under $20.00!
Please note, happy hours usually run in the bar area. Sometimes, restaurants have booths and tables in the bar area, so it's not very different from sitting in the dining area.
