Before an event at the Harvard Club a few weeks ago, RG and I met up at the nearby Kellari Taverna for a quick drink and a much-needed chat. After doing some slightly inappropriate awkward hovering over a couple waiting for a table, I snagged a table and two cushy chairs once the couple vacated. Soon RG and I were settled in with a Corona (for him) and an enormous pot of green tea (for me), which provided about five cups' worth of warming goodness.
And then came the stealth awesomeness: unbidden, a plate of delicious nibbles arrived at our table. A half dozen hearty chunks of pecorino cheese, a handful of marinated olives, and some crostini formed the selection, which (apparently?) is given gratis to people having a drink in Kellari's bar area during happy hour. It was delicious, and all the more delicious for being surprising and free.
Especially given dearth of good happy-hour options near Times Square, this gracious gesture rocketed Kellari up my standings. Check it out for yourself, and enjoy the free rewards...
