Happy Hour at Gupshup

On my continuing quest to find the city's best Happy Hours I stumbled into Gupshup the other day, the trendy bi-level Indian spot that just opened near Union Square.  I had heard the cocktails here were wonderful but I wasn't prepared for the pure delight of the Gold Spot Soda.  


Made with Spring 44 gin, fennel, lemon and cream soda this was like drinking a frothy vanilla and tamarind smoothie.  I almost drank the entire cocktail in one sip it was so delicious.


There are no food specials during happy hour but I ordered the Delhi Butter Chicken anyway served traditional style with a thick, creamy sauce...


...and a side of somewhat nontraditional Multi-Grain Naan which were light, crispy and simply spectacular.  Cocktails are just $10 during Gupshup happy hour but plan to come early if you want to relax.  The bar was at full capacity by 6:00 PM.
