Paying Tribute to 52 NYC Restaurants That Closed During the Pandemic - Eater NY
"Before raw — and then baked — oysters had their moments, there was Aquagrill. The corner restaurant from chefs Jeremy and Jennifer Marshall opened its doors in 1996, at a time when the main players in New York City’s seafood scene were Docks Oyster Bar in Murray Hill, Midtown’s Le Bernardin, and Grand Central Oyster Bar. Yet Aquagrill managed to stand out with its humble prices, downtown address, and local sourcing, which meant oysters would come out of the water on a Monday morning and appear on the restaurant’s plates by Tuesday." - Eater Staff
