Review
The Ivory Peacock
This huge Flatiron spot has three distinct bar areas under the same roof, and the focus here is on gin. Try some of their surprisingly creative raw bar items.
Review
Kingfisher
Come to this casual seafood spot in Prospect Lefferts Gardens when you want to impress a date with elegant plates of razor clams and trout roe.
Review
Fulton Fish Co.
This seafood counter with a huge raw bar in the Tin Building by Jean-Georges is great for some oysters followed by something greasy like a salad with fried clams and shrimp.
Review
Deux Chats
Deux Chats has a beautiful space, impressive cocktails, and some of the best seafood small plates in Williamsburg.
Review
Lobster Joint
Lobster Joint is a New England-style seafood shack in Greenpoint where you should spend the next sunny day eating a lobster roll at an outdoor picnic table.
Review
Blue Ribbon Brasserie
The original Blue Ribbon in Soho is a place where you can arrive late at night and eat raw bar selections and memorable dishes that have become NYC classics.
Review
The Fulton
The Fulton in the South Street Seaport is where you should go to eat phenomenal seafood while looking out at the Brooklyn Bridge.
Review
Lure Fishbar
Lure Fishbar is still just as much of a Soho party yacht as it was when it opened in 2004, and it's a good spot for an upscale sushi-and-burger experience.
Review
Grand Central Oyster Bar
Grand Central Oyster Bar is a legendary, Classic NYC Establishment located inside Grand Central Station. There ain’t another place like this in the world, and unless you commute from Westchester everyday, it can be easily forgotten. Don’t let that happen.
Review
Gage and Tollner
Gage & Tollner is a revamp of a classic New York restaurant, and it's a good spot for drinks and snacks.
Review
The Clam
The Clam in the West Village is (you guessed it) a seafood restaurant that's a safe bet for most occassions.
Review
Grand Banks
If the Queen Mary just ended up being a nicely appointed tug boat loaded with alcohol and raw oysters, you’d have Grand Banks. Load up on ceviche and fried veggies, just make sure you aren’t prone to motion sickness.
Review
Catch
It is no understatement to say that Catch is the most over-the-top, ridiculous dining operation the Meatpacking District has ever seen. Thankfully though, the service is fantastic, and the food is pretty great as well, despite the absurdity of it all.
Review
Greenpoint Fish and Lobster
Greenpoint Fish and Lobster is a great place for affordable seafood in Brooklyn.
Review
Marlow & Sons
Marlow & Sons is one of the original modern Brooklyn restaurants, and it’s still one of the best places to eat in the city.
Review
Docks Oyster Bar & Seafood Grill
Docks is a good spot for Happy Hour drinks and snacks near Grand Central.
Review
Maison Premiere
Maison Premiere is the coolest place in Williamsburg to eat oysters and drink cocktails.
Review
Upstate Craft Beer & Oyster Bar
Upstate Craft Beer & Oyster Bar is the ultimate neighborhood restaurant, with fresh seafood, friendly service, and free-flowing craft beer.
Review
North River Lobster Co.
The food at North River Lobster Co. is regrettably mediocre. Then again, we never expected more from a floating restaurant in the middle of Midtown fart-tastic touristville.
Review
Sel Rrose
A cocktail bar that specializes in oysters, and has a very solid burger. Sel Rrose isn't our favorite oyster hangout, but it's definitely one you should know about.
Review
Flex Mussels
Flex is a restaurant import from Prince Edward Island, which immediately gives it some credibility - "P.E.I" as they call it, is the source of some of the best mussels the world has to offer.
Review
Jeffrey’s Grocery
Jeffrey’s Grocery in the West Village is one of the few restaurants in town we return to regularly. It is Perfect For pretty much everything.
Review
Watermark Bar
Watermark is a bar on Pier 15 near the South Street Seaport with outdoor seating that works for Happy Hour drinks.
