"Once upon a time, it was very difficult to get into Connie & Ted's. But now that the hype around this East Coast-style seafood spot has settled down, it's become an even better version of its former self. This huge restaurant is now the kind of neighborhood staple where people go on dates, eat early dinners with their kids, and have solo lunches at the bar because they woke up craving beer and oysters. Get the burger with aged cheddar, thousand island, pickles, onion, and lettuce. They aren’t reinventing the wheel here, but it’s a classic." - brant cox
