"Pearl & Mary is a Midtown Village oyster bar that joins the fleet of Schulson Collective restaurants in the area (including Double Knot and Sampan). The intimate space feels like it’s straight out of New Orleans–it has the ambiance of a craft cocktail bar, complete with an oyster shucking station and floor to ceiling windows that connect the indoor and outdoor dining areas. The menu has a raw bar selection, small plates–including a tender octopus al pastor and hamachi crudo topped with potato crisps–and larger dishes like a lobster roll and strip steak. You’ll find couples and groups of friends sharing orders of clams casino, but the best spot in the house is at the bar, sampling snow crab, shrimp cocktail, and oysters from the Royal Tower." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"With a sizable raw-bar menu, Pearl and Mary is a place to take the oyster sommelier in your group so they can pretend to know the subtle differences between oysters from Wellfleet and Samish Bay (the jig is up, Samantha). The Midtown Village seafood restaurant has a long bar and several tables throughout. This makes it just as good for a solo meal or group dinner as a fun date night. Because you know—a few drops of bright mignonette here, a mound of spicy horseradish there, a little lemon spritz, and all of a sudden you're getting matching hearts on fire tattoos. Yes, there’s a daily $2 oyster happy hour" - candis mclean
"When: Daily, 4-7pm (only at the bar) The Deal: $5 Beer, $6 Wine, $7 Cocktails, And $1-$7 Raw Bar & Snacks A price-slashed oyster happy hour will never go out of style. So expect this Midtown Village spot to be crowded. We suggest getting here early, then loading up on crudo, mussel toast, and crispy fish sandwiches." - candis mclean
"Having a satisfying meal is great, but when it includes incredible cuts of hamachi, striped bass, and salmon, it’s even better. Enter Midtown Village’s Pearl & Mary Oyster Bar. Their crudos blend flavors like toasted sesame, shiso, chili, and yuzu kosho to balance out the heat. The fish is always fresh and perfectly sliced, and has an ideal blend of acidity and sweetness. And since they have one of the better happy hours in town, you can grab a $7 daily crudo, pair it with a $6 wine, and forget about last night's terrible first date for less than fifteen bucks." - candis mclean
"A happy hour at Pearl & Mary can be enjoyed at the oyster bar while admiring nautical chalk art, or in the dining room while staring at a wooden ship helm. When you come during SIPS, you can do very much the same, just with a $7 cocktail, $6 wine, and $5 beer on hand. You can expect half-priced daily crudos (which are always fantastic), $4 deviled eggs topped with scallions, $2 fresh-shucked oysters, and $ 7 sandwiches like fish fritters." - candis mclean
