"Aiming to feel like a party rather than a “bougie and buttoned-up” oyster bar, this Brooklyn seafood spot from Ham El-Waylly, Anoop Pillarisetti, and Michael Tuiach invites you to be rambunctious and loud, crush some oysters, and dig into dips before heading on your way. It usually runs a crab dip, but in colder months it swaps in a spinach–artichoke version inspired by the Chili’s and Applebee’s classics El-Waylly grew up with; the briny, acidic artichokes play naturally with crab, and the dip is served with fried saltines." - Bettina Makalintal
