One temperate night, I met a neighbor at ZIZI (formerly Zizi Limona), a modern Mediterranean restaurant on Eighth Avenue. Emmit, our server, mentioned that it was still happy hour and explained the offerings that included a martini selection from their few varieties and $6 off the small z’s “3Z’s” appetizer selection.

I chose an espresso martini that included Spring 44 vodka, Luxardo espresso liqueur and espresso.

We then selected their roasted head of cauliflower, the four falafel balls and the crazy baba (a blend of charred eggplant, feta and basil) with four large, warm pita ($23).

We did order an entree but had no room for it, as we were full from the generous portions of apps.

I highly recommend stopping at ZIZI for their happy hour; although it’s limited, what they offer satisfies.
