"The Deal: Half dozen oysters for $10, dozen oysters for $20, $2 off house cocktails, $11 classic cocktails, $11 wine, $6 beer For oysters and wine in a bright, plant-filled dining room, consider Otway in Clinton Hill. It’s got outdoor seating during the warmer months, and it’s never too busy. If the clock strikes six and you’re not ready to leave yet, Otway has a full dinner menu with things like chicken schnitzel and boquerones on a fried sourdough that’s made down the street at their bakery." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah
"I found a very seasonal blueberry danish ($5.50) at Otway that plops exuberantly large blueberries on top of a deep well of corn pastry cream surrounded by crunchy-soft layers of laminated dough; as a circular danish it felt almost like an inverted cupcake, and the excellent laminated pastry plus a sprinkling of (I’m guessing) turbinado sugar on top provided a delightful textural flourish." - Nat Belkov
"Otway has brunch every single day, and even on a Tuesday, you might see a table of friends catching up in the plant-filled dining room, or a couple in pajamas, feeding each other melon. During the week, you can use your laptop at this cafe, and it’s a nice change of scenery (one that could involve a juicy fried chicken sandwich). On the weekend, it’s the kind of place you might run into somebody you know eating the deluxe breakfast with eggs, crispy potatoes, toast, and a lamb merguez patty. Otway is also open for dinner, and they have a bakery right down the block, if you need an excellent croissant." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, tiffany yannetta, neha talreja
"Fresh bread is really having a moment right now. But even if you haven’t mastered the perfect loaf, you can pick one up from this Clinton Hill spot. Otway’s pick up window is open every weekend, and in addition to fresh bread, they’re selling pastries, wine, and coffee. Be sure to stop by the next time you feel like taking a Sunday stroll down Fulton Street." - nikko duren
"When it comes to all-day cafes, Otway in Clinton Hill is a rare triple threat: part bakery, part takeaway coffee window, and part wine bar. So on a weekend morning, it’s a great place to stop in for a quick bite or a discounted glass of wine during their weekend Happy Hour. Otway’s menu has everything from a simple bowl of fruit to an egg sandwich on pillowy soft homemade rye bread, and if you have some time, we recommend grabbing a sidewalk table and people-watching along Fulton Street. Feel free to show up in your sweatpants well after 10am and baby talk at a golden retriever while you wait for someone to bring you a plate of over-easy eggs with a side of bacon." - nikko duren
