Battery Park City is the strip of Lower Manhattan along the Hudson River, west of West Street and the World Trade Center, running from Chambers Street down toward Battery Park. Our list sits in its northern half. Le District and Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar share the Brookfield Place address at 225 Liberty Street, El Vez is on Vesey Street, Friedman's is on Murray Street, and Mezze on the River is a little farther south on South End Avenue. Every listing names WTC Cortlandt on the 1 as its nearest station, four to six minutes away.

A Battery Park City happy hour is mostly a weekday ritual, and most deals here are served at the bar. Expect select beer, wine and cocktails at Le District, birria fries and quesadillas at El Vez, Greek dips with grilled pita at Mezze on the River, and hand rolls at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar. Le District is the only place on the list that also runs on Saturday and Sunday. Tip: El Vez starts early on Fridays, so a long lunch can roll straight into happy hour.
