"Down the block and across the street at Randazzo’s the sidewalk raw bar offers a similar, slightly rougher proposition: the day’s offerings are kept on ice in a cooler rather than neatly arrayed, there’s a stainless-steel countertop to belly up to, clams (fifteen dollars a dozen) and thrilling razor clams, and just two oyster varieties — tangy, grassy Blue Points and buttery Beau Soleils — each at two dollars apiece, a price that encourages ordering a dozen (or another dozen). You can stand and slurp as they’re shucked or sit on folding chairs against the shop window to people-watch, perhaps sipping the cheap white wine that mysteriously appears in a little plastic cup; squeeze the lemon, dab the hot sauce, devour." - H, e, l, e, n, , R, o, s, n, e, r
