Fish
280 Bleecker (at Jones St)
Time: All the time
Price: 6 oysters or clams, and a drink, $8

Oysters are considered an aphrodisiac.  I’m not sure what about slurping raw mollusks out of a crusty shell people find arousing, but it definitely seems fancy.  And after the lobster poop incident last week, I figured I should continue my trend of ‘rich people food at poor people prices’ and go for the oysters.  Fear not all you 9-5ers, Fish’s ‘Red, White and Blue special’ is available all the time.  It consists of six blue point oysters, or clams, and a glass of wine or a PBR.  Oysters typically go for around $2 each in NYC, so this is a good deal already, and then add in some house merlot, and I couldn’t be happier.  But beware, entrees at this seafood joint are pretty pricey, so come in for the special, and then row your boat out the door before being tempted to spend $22 for seared scallops.  There is also a $19 all-you-can-eat steamed Maryland crab special from 12-3 everyday for your feasting pleasure.
