Okay, New York City foodies, listen up! If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the hunt for the best deals and the tastiest bites in the city. Well, I recently stumbled upon a spot that’s checking all the boxes, and I’m dying to share the scoop. Prepare yourselves for this: $5 espresso martinis in NYC – and they aren't your average watered-down specials, either. I’m talking about rich, creamy, caffeinated perfection all day long! The place is called The Penny Farthing, and while the ridiculously affordable martinis are a huge draw, what really blew me away was their incredible food, specifically, the nachos. Seriously, these are some of the best nachos you’ll find in the entire city. Let’s dive into all the deets.
The Penny Farthing: More Than Just a Great Deal
Located at 103 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10003, United States, The Penny Farthing has become my go-to spot for a midweek treat. While the location is easily accessible in a bustling part of the city, it somehow manages to maintain a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. This isn't one of those pretentious spots where you feel out of place; it’s the type of place where you can comfortably grab a drink with friends, catch up over amazing food, and not break the bank doing it. While the exact neighborhood may not be immediately clear, it feels like a hidden gem amidst the vibrant energy of New York City.
$5 Espresso Martinis: Yes, Really!
Let’s be honest; the first thing that grabs your attention is the $5 espresso martinis. In a city where cocktails often cost upwards of $15, finding a deal like this is like striking gold. The best part is, this isn’t a happy hour deal; it’s an ALL DAY event on Wednesdays. These are not the kind of watered-down, cheaply made cocktails you might expect for that price. Instead, they’re rich, flavorful, and the perfect mix of coffee and sweetness, topped with those iconic coffee beans. Honestly, it's amazing how consistently well-made these martinis are, especially given the unbelievable price. If you love a good espresso martini, this is a must-try, especially for those midweek blues.
Nacho Heaven: Prepare to be Obsessed
But, here’s the thing, as amazing as the martinis are, the nachos at The Penny Farthing might just steal the show. These aren't your typical, sad, pile of chips covered in melted cheese. These nachos are a work of art. The chips are sturdy, piled high with gooey melted cheese, the perfect amount of sour cream and a generous amount of freshly made guacamole. They also include pico de gallo with perfectly diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos giving every bite a little burst of fresh flavor. They are truly the perfect amount of cheesiness with the perfect balance of toppings. They come on a wooden board, visually appealing and definitely Instagram-worthy. I am not exaggerating when I say these are the best nachos I’ve had in New York City. They are so flavorful and they make a great shared meal with friends.
More Than Just Drinks and Nachos
While the espresso martinis and nachos are what initially drew me in, The Penny Farthing’s menu also includes some other delicious options. We also sampled the burger and chicken sandwich, both of which came with a generous helping of fries. While I would highly recommend the nachos as a must-try, the burgers and sandwiches were delicious and great if you’re not in the mood for nachos. The fries are also a great addition, crispy and well-seasoned. Based on everything that we tried, it’s safe to say that the food is all very high-quality and delicious.
A Must-Visit Spot
Overall, if you’re looking for a spot with great deals, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere, The Penny Farthing has to be on your list. I am so obsessed with their nachos and espresso martinis that I cannot recommend this spot enough. Whether you’re looking for a place to grab a drink after work, or to have a casual night with friends and some delicious food, this place has you covered. I think the best part is, that you don’t need to break the bank to have a good time here. The restaurant has a comfortable and chill vibe that sets it apart from other spots in NYC.
So, ditch the pricey cocktail spots and make your way to The Penny Farthing. You can enjoy those espresso martinis all day Wednesday, and you’ll thank me later when you try the legendary nachos. Trust me; this place is about to become your new favorite.
