Happy Hour (one of our favorites) arrives at Essex Pearl at The Market Line. Think oysters ($6 for a half dozen pristine East Coast bivalves) and beer ($5 bottles of Radeberger Pilsner). But that'swhere the similarities end. Chef Daniel Le is showcasing Southeast Asian fare including Indonesian Fried Chicken glazed with tamarind, and skewers, sold in pairs, including Australian Tiger Prawns seasoned with housemade Malaysian Sambal Belacan. Available daily from 4 p.m. to 7p.m. except Monday and Tuesday, when the restaurant is closed.

Boy, how time flied. La Devozione is marking its first anniversary at Chelsea Market. In celebration, they will be offering 20% discount on packages of their 126 pasta shapes and Pastificio Di Martino’s signature pasta tins (Dolce & Gabbana and Barbie by Mattel excluded) from November 17th to November 21st.

From November 15-23, LGDR (19 E 64th St) will open Shields, an exhibition reflecting on Günther Uecker’s seven-decades-long engagement with nails, paint, and graphite. The presentation brings together all nine paintings in the artist’s most recent series Shields (2022), a new and related series of works on paper, and a pivotal but rarely seen sculpture from 1967.
