Beer + Bun for $5 at Xie Xie
Here’s one of the better deals around the city going on right now. Everday from 3-7pm, $5 gets you a beer and a bun at Xie Xie (645 9th Ave b/t 45th & 46th), Angelo Sosa’s Asian-inspired sandwich shop, which recently opened in Hell’s Kitchen and will be expanding with a St. Marks Pl location soon. Xie Xie (pronounced “shay shay”) is fresh off its win for 2009 Restaurant Concept Award from StarChefs.com. For your bun, choose from Sweet Glazed Pork, Vietnamese BBQ Beef or Shredded Braised Chicken. These buns are typically $8.50-$9 for an order of 3: so, you’re basically getting a cold bottle of 33 Export Lager (Vietnamese beer) for about $2. People seem to be really diggin’ these buns. Check out the most recent reviews on MenuPages. Even celeb chef Alain Ducasse has thrown in a resounding endorsement. Disclaimer: Angela Sosa worked with Ducasse a few years back to create a special seasonal menu at Ducasse’s Paris restaurant, Spoon Food & Wine.

Just wanted to make sure you knew, you get 1 bun in the happy hour deal, whereas the full meal comes with 3 buns.
@Always Eating — thanks for the heads-up on that…i didn’t realize. still pretty good deal, but not as insane as i had thought. Congrats on the lamb takedown victory!
