In Italy, aperitivo\u2014which comes from a Latin word that means \u201cto open\u201d\u2014typically involves drinking an Aperol spritz or another aperitif-based drink like a Negroni and snacking on bites like marinated olives and cured meats.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that New Yorkers rarely take the time to imbibe in that laid-back Italian style, dozens of bars and restaurants across the city are embracing this happy hour tradition.
