Amid the steady hum of Midtown Manhattan, InterContinental New York Barclay has quietly introduced a seasonal ritual worth pausing for. Available daily from 4 to 6 PM, The Parlour’s new “Shuck & Spritz” special invites guests to ease into the evening with a half-dozen freshly shucked oysters and their choice of spritz—for just $30.

The setting? Classic New York elegance just steps from Grand Central Station. The timing? Perfect for those looking to transition from the desk to dinner—or to linger after a day in the city. This isn’t just happy hour. It’s an expertly chilled moment of calm in the center of it all.

The limited-time offering, available through September 30, 2025, presents a trio of effervescent spritzes designed to complement the oysters’ briny sweetness. The lineup includes:

• Hugo Spritz – A fragrant medley of St. Germain elderflower liqueur, sparkling wine, and fresh mint, served with a splash of lime.

• Hibiscus Spritz – Floral and refreshing, this one blends hibiscus tea, sparkling wine, and club soda, topped with edible flowers.

• Aperol Spritz – The tried-and-true classic, elevated with Aperol, sparkling wine, and club soda, garnished with a slice of orange.

Each pairing is a study in balance—brisk, light, and built for summer.

With countless happy hour options in New York, few manage to marry value, quality, and atmosphere quite like this. At The Parlour, the focus isn’t just on trend—but on timeless appeal, seasonal ingredients, and polished service in one of the city’s landmark hotels.

It’s the kind of indulgence that doesn’t require a reservation, just a reason to toast—perhaps to summer, to oysters, or simply to the art of slowing down between 4 and 6.
