Happy Hour of the Week: Umi Kitchen and Sushi Bar

1 p.m.

Details + don’t miss: Umi’s cool downstairs lounge with a view opens at 5 p.m. Sundays in Kendall Yards and is Happy Hour the entire time, a perfect way to end the weekend or start the week. Oyster shooters are a solid opener, followed up with gyoza and yellowtail kama (the tender collar of a fish). Add to the evening with a perfectly sour New York Sour served in a martini glass.
