EAST SIDE—Oh look, here's a LivingSocial "deal" for entry to an "exclusive mixology happy hour" at Mettle. For a mere $32 you get to meet the chef and sample the happy hour food menu "buffet-style," but do note the fine print: "Alcohol not included; must be purchased from the bar separately." Huh. [LS]
