The Best Seafood Towers In NYC

"Seafood Plateau Height: 11.5 inches. Price: $125, which includes 12 oysters, 4 shrimp, fluke ceviche with avocado, scallop aguachile, Jonah crab salad, saltines, ritz crackers. The booths and barstools at this narrow Spanish spot in Greenpoint fill up quickly with small groups drinking cocktails, sharing little plates of boquerones and tinned scallops, and chatting loudly. No one will do more than take a furtive glance at your two-tiered Plateau when it arrives, somewhat unceremoniously. Zoom in on the highlights: plump, chewy oysters, and tangy black bass crudo. With flickering candlelight, a soundtrack that switches from easy listening to rock standards, and a Happy Hour that goes until 12am all week, this is a good spot to pair some splurgy seafood with a discounted drink, like the $12 martini, or a Midori Sour." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, kym backer, sonal shah
