New Yorkers are used to being pretty fresh. And even if we're miles from the ocean, we're still rolling pretty deep in quality seafood. These are our Top 5 picks for the choicest seafood you'll find without a snorkel.
The John Dory Oyster Bar- April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman (The Spotted Pig) are the brains and bellies behind this seemingly old-school seafood spot. Decked in black tile, you can shuck to your heart's content (the restaurant serves until 4am) or grab a glass of one of the wines on tap. Located inside the Ace Hotel, you might want to relax in the lobby or grab a cup of just-next-door Stumptown Coffee on your way out. If you're really feeling a seafood feast, book the basement-located Chef's Tasting Table for a party of 12. 1196 Broadway (29th Street) 212. 792.9000.
