Sel Rrose is hands down my favorite place to eat oysters in the city. It’s bright, friendly, and the oysters are always well shucked, tasty, and beautiful. Their bartenders pour delicious cocktails and a wide selection of wine, and are generally pretty knowledgeable about the bivalves. It’s not cheap (although their happy hour is good) but if you want to impress a date, or simply enjoy an evening of delicious food and good drinks, it’s hard to go wrong.

It can get crowded, so if you’re looking for dinner make a reservation. But if you get there just as happy hour starts and grab a seat at the bar, you’re in for a treat. They typically have a selection of six or seven east and west coast oysters for somewhere between $1-$2 a shuck, which means you can try new things as well as down favorites without too much concern for your wallet.

The Deal:

Happy Hour from 4-7 every day of the week. $1-$2 oysters, with usually six or seven on the list. No drink specials, but they do have a $10 glass of prosecco on tap which is pretty tasty.
