Oysters! FOOD & DRINK
Oysters!

"It is unseasonable and unwholesome in all months that have not an r in their name to eat an oyster," Dyets Dry Dinner declared back in 1599. Nowadays, you can eat oysters on the half shell all year round, but they taste best when the water is icy and the days are short. They also taste best when they're less expensive and you really should still be at work—so aroint thee to an oyster happy hour. Elliott's: Mon–Fri 3–6 pm, oysters start at 50 cents each and go up a quarter every half hour; Flying Fish: daily 4–6 pm at the bar only, 50 cents each; Anchovies & Olives: Sun–Thurs 5–6 pm and 10 pm–close, $1 each; the Brooklyn: daily 4–6 pm, $1.25 each; Frank's Oyster House: Tues–Sat 5–6:30 pm and 10–11 pm, $1.50 each.

The Brooklyn's web page says oysters are a dollar each during happy hour, which is the way it's been for at least the last year. Is their page out of date and the price went up, or is this $1.25 quote incorrect?

The price at the Brooklyn just went up to a $1.25 a few weeks ago.

Don't forget about Shuckers--happy hour oysters for a buck, and a great selection.

@5: Good to know! I love the old-school-oak-paneled-ness of Shuckers, but it's damnably expensive—the happy hour looks great.
