When it comes to oysters and many other treasures of the sea, there are not many things I wouldn't do to get my claws on them. So when I was at the East Village Mermaid Inn with only about 20 minutes to go before its $1 Oyster Special ended I knew had to get serious. The bar was packed with patrons slurping with abandon and I had no seat. Could I stand there and balance a plate on one arm? Sure, I'm not proud. I put in an order. Praise be to Neptune, I got a seat and heartily enjoyed $6 worth of oysters and a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Next time, I get there at opening time. (the doors that is)Cost: $1 per yummy Blue Point Oyster Payoff: A pearl of an evening in a pearl of a place
Mermaid Inn: 96 Second Ave. Between 5th and 6th streets. Happy Hour is 5:30 to 7 Monday through Saturday and 5 to 7 on Sundays. More locations.
$1 oysters are my favorite, I scour the city for deals like this one! Is every day? What time is happy hour until? Thanks for posting!
