Happy Birthday Elettaria!  Welcome to the Recession. Fresh off of Eater’s “One Year In” feature earlier this week, we learned this morning that Elettaria (8th St. @ MacDougal) has launched a recession special: Sunday to Wednesday we offer our special 3-course tasting menu for $33. $8 adds 2 pours of our custom Sangria (red or white) or Rum Punch. Elettaria is already known to have one of the best happy hour specials in town, not to mention its drink menu was created by folks at  Death & Co. and Freemans.  From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. everyday, you can get $8 glasses of wine, $4 beers, and $7 cocktails. They also have some pretty creative homemade bar snacks that include a special hot dog, a take on crab rangoon and a naan pizza is in the works. As to the success of the happy hour special, they tell Eater: “People are coming in to drink and hang out and it’s just kind of fun. People want to drink right after work these days more than ever. Some come in and get wrecked from 5 – 7.” We’ll test the dinner special (after a few half-off cocktails, of course) and we’ll let you know what we think.
