By James Mulcahy

Attention lushes! Some new drink deals have popped up around town. On Friday, Asellina will launch a new drink deal at 6 PM. The stylish spot will serve Italian beers and wine for 50% off, and plates of assaggi (lite bites) for $5-9. The deal will be available every Friday going forward.

Another new drink deal is available at Brooklyn's Marco Polo, which recently got a spruce up. They're trying to lure diners in to come and take a gander with a sweet promotion on Monday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. There will be two-for-one specials on red and white wines by the glass, a selection of cocktails and beers. These can be paired with nicely priced bites like $1 clams and $2 shrimp cocktails.

Finally, Williamsburg Italian Antica Pesa has just launched a new Aperitivo menu that features a selection of small bite for $9. It's easy to make full, sharable dinner out of these, which include fish tartare, bruschetta.
