Best Late-Night Happy Hour
Cart-Driver’s tiny shipping-container space ensures that the wood-fired pizzeria always feels full, but never is it more lively than between 10 p.m. and midnight. That’s when it puts out a roster of late-night happy-hour deals that lure in a thrumming crowd, composed heavily of industry types getting off shifts at nearby eateries. During these hours, you can score a $5 Daisy (Cart-Driver’s answer to the Napolitano-style margherita), a $5 rye Manhattan and a $5 pilsner plus a shot of Fernet. But don’t miss the $5 plate of sardines and freshly baked bread, served with butter and sambal. For us, that’s the ultimate late-night snack.
