Philippe by Philippe Chow is exactly the sort of high-end, chichi place you’d expect to find in Boca Raton. The décor is elegant, the food is delicious and expertly prepared, and the drinks are top-shelf and top-priced to match. But in these tight economic times, posh dining can kind of fall down the priority list. But just because you need to drink on the cheap doesn’t mean you can’t do so in style — after all, what is happy hour for? Every Tuesday, Philippe Chow expands its happy hour to all day, which at Philippe Chow is from 4 p.m. until close. At the bar, in the lounge, and at the outside bar — basically anywhere but a regular table — you can enjoy half-price drink specials and a happy-hour food menu. Specialty cocktails like the lychee martini and the philiptini, house red and white wine, and well drinks are all $5 each. Heineken Light is $4 a bottle, and vodka and gin martinis are $6 each. The menu includes the likes of chicken satays, Peking duck springs rolls, and chicken lettuce wraps, and all the items are $7 and under. Visit philippechow.com, or call 561-393-4666.
