The Wisdom of Eating Early

Joke all you want to about all Early Bird Specials and old people, snickering all the while.

But:  a rose under any other name is still a rose and Happy Hour is when you can score big on drinks and food.  Until 7 p.m., that is.

Case in point:  Six of us (all adults) recently had drinks and dinner at Hudson House.  The tab looked like this:
Happy (hour) Ale 2 x $3 = $6   Usually $5 or $6  $10-$12    Saved $6
Happy Margarita 4 x $4 = $16  They're usually $7 to $10  or $40    Saved $24
Happy edammame $3 (usually $5)  Saved $2
Happy olives $3 (usually $5)  Saved $2
Happy mixed fries (sweet potato and regular potato) $2  Either one is usually $5  Saved $3

Saved $37.  Which was $7 more than I tipped on a $143 tab.
