"The team behind the Mermaid Inn heads in a new direction today. The mini-chain of Manhattan seafood restaurants has opened the doors on Mermaid Mexicana, a Mexican restaurant at 79 MacDougal Street, between Bleecker and West Houston streets, according to a spokesperson. The new spot serves whole fish, al pastor and birria tacos, and functions as a new home for Mermaid Inn’s popular happy hour with $1.25 oysters and $6 beers." - Luke Fortney
