E&O Kitchen and Bar
When I have to meet friends in Union Square for an affordable bite, I head to this atmospheric, cavernous three-story dining room serving Asian share plates (think chicken satay, Chinese chicken salad, dry-fried green beans). It’s got so many seats, there’s almost never a wait, even for larger parties. Despite reasonable prices, the bill climbs quickly, especially if you indulge in the full bar, so if you’re on a budget, consider coming for happy hour (Mon–Sat 3–6pm), when certain cocktails and wine are $6, beer is $4, oysters are a buck each, and snacks, like beef short-rib sliders, are $1 to $4.
