"The Dish: Baked Clams A server once told us these are the best baked clams in New York City, and a busser wore a shirt that had “The Original Baked Clams” printed on the back. Don’t think too hard about what that means—because what does that mean?—but be sure to order these. They are almost charred on top with a meaty undercarriage, and when your server brings them to you, they will spoon a few onto each person's plate, and then tilt the platter and use a spoon to ladle more buttery sauce over each one.
