"When: Daily, 4:30-6:30pm The Deal: $1.50 “Chef’s Choice” Oysters You should get to the Mermaid Inn Happy Hour early. If it’s a nice day out, their Cape Cod cottage-themed dining room will get more and more crowded until it spills out through the French doors and it becomes impossible to tell the difference between the dining room, patio, and the street. But that’s OK, because you did the planning. You sat down at 4:30pm, and you’re already on your third round of $1.50 oysters from one of the most reliable seafood restaurants in Manhattan. Pair them with a hot sauce martini to mirror the cocktail sauce that’s dousing your oysters." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
