While patio season is finally arriving (we hope), summer in a glass is always available at the Smack Shack, where the signature drink is the New Orleans-spawned Hurricane. At $7, the tall, fruity rum concoction is discounted on weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. to midnight. Three- and four-buck beers, $4 rails and $5 wines don't hurt, either.
