Pros: Extremely quick service - great, if you are in a rush. Fresh, tasty seafood. Cons: Cramped seating. No reservations policy. Lingerers are not welcome.
I summoned up my most pitiful look and tried again. "Please, our friend will be here any minute!" The host/server of the Pearl Oyster Bar had a doubtful, I've-heard-this-one-before expression on his face. "The last group...
Pros: Wonderful Food Cons: Terribly small and crowded
The Pearl Oyster Bar serves great seafood. It serves great soups and desserts. It even has a fine selection of beers. If food were everything, Pearl Oyster Bar would be one of New York's best dinner spots. Unfortunately, as a result of its size,...
Pros: The lobster roll is delicious Cons: The lobster roll is a bit expensive
The Pearl Oyster Bar is a comer among newly-opened eateries in Manhattan. It's on Cornelia Street (No. 18) in the West Village. You find it by going to 6th Avenue at 4th Street, crossing to the west side and hanging a left on an angled block that is...
Pros: Perfect seafood: crispy fried oysters, succulent lobster, whole fish, bouillabaisse, amazing praline parfait Cons: Small and crowded but what great West Village restaurant isn't? Grow up!

Pros: probably the best seafood for the buck in NYC Cons: long waits
In the middle of Cornelia street which happens to be the home of two other fine restaurants lives this excellent, once hidden, jewel of New York. The best part of this restaurant is its great laid back atmosphere with the best all women kitchen. The only...
Maybe I'm getting too old, but I find these ultra-intimate, "charming," little restaurants to be tiresome. I know more people than I need to already; I don't feel like meeting the people sitting next to me. That said, I can understand those...
Pros: Everything is delicious. Prices are fair. Cons: No reservations so you may have to wait.
If you go early, you can avoid the line that forms each evening, not surprising as the restaurant serves terrific food and doesn't take reservations. There's a small bar area and tables crowded into the small space, all filled with satisfied ...
