"For an intimate yet casual setting for a romantic round of drinks and oysters, Mink hits the spot. Sit at the bar and marvel at the crew as they get to shucking, plating, and interacting with guests. Guests can opt to order a la carte from the spot’s selection of fresh oysters from across the country or an array of tinned seafood snacks. Or, go all out and make reservations to try a five-course tasting menu (available with optional beverage pairing), which switches out every month. Previous tasting menu offerings have included as a lobster olive loaf, scallop ambrosia salad, and a swordfish casserole." - Courtney Burk
"Mink boasts one of the city’s most extensive oyster selections, with nine currently on the menu as of this writing. The oysters come from both the East and West Coast. A simple tip: West Coast oysters tend to pack a clean and simple flavor, and a more mellow, cucumber taste. East Coast oysters are saltier and brinier. Mink is the perfect place to dip your toes into raw oysters. A dozen will cost you $44, while individual oysters run $3.75. Book a seat on Resy." - Danny Palumbo
"Reserve seats at this intimate seafood bar in Corktown for a five-course chef’s tasting menu featuring fresh oysters on the half shell from two coasts and a range of dishes. Leek-wrapped halibut, stracciatella with white anchovies, and steamed grouper with couscous have all made the rounds on recent menus that stay fresh by rotating once a month. The new menu posts the Monday before, and is subject to change based on seasonality and sourcing (as it should). A selection of caviar and sake makes the occasion even more special. Reservations are $85 per person." - Danny Palumbo
"Reserve seats at this intimate seafood bar in Corktown for a multi-course meal featuring fresh oysters on the half shell from two coasts and a range of dishes. Leek-wrapped halibut, stracciatella with white anchovies, and steamed grouper with cous cous are among the expertly prepared dishes to have made the rounds on the menu, which stays fresh by rotating roughly every three weeks. A selection of caviar and sake makes the occasion even more special. Reservations can be made via Resy." - Serena Maria Daniels
