That first sip of wine after six painful hours of meetings is as liberating as loosening up your tie or slipping off your heels. After all, it’s not called happy hour for nothing. Throw in a good deal on top of it, whether it’s a buy one get one free or 50% off, and you may have one of the great pleasures of the work week. With so many deals all over the city, it’s almost enough motivation to end the workday a littler earlier. Say around 4pm. Unfortunately we can only have so many “doctor appointments” a week, so we have to be a little more selective with where we go. Here are some great deals that will help you unwind from Excel nightmares and Powerpoint malfunctions…
