replying to u/xlaurenthead: Grand Banks is one of my favorite places for a sunny afternoon. Sit at the oyster bar and chat up the oyster guys. Ask questions. You’ll get free samples and great advice. Buy a dozen oysters. Get a lobster roll. All in between super cocktails. Look around at the celebrities and the view of the Hudson and NY Harbor. Close your eyes and present your credit card.
“I actually love GB but lord is it expensive.”

replying to u/velvetsunset011: 2. The Mermaid Inn, Grand Central Oyster Bar, Balthazar, Grand Banks (on a boat!) 3. Since it’s her first time, maybe someplace grand with a view – Manhatta and River Cafe 4. Domodomo - they have a Domokase set, which isn’t strictly omakase but has a variety of other items. Bonus points, they have an oyster bar as well
“Seconding Grand Banks for oysters because you get an incredible skyline view while floating on water - my parents loved this experience.”

replying to u/Hawkbit: The Frying Pan at Chelsea Piers Pilot at Brooklyn bridge Park Pier Both are on boats docked at the pier. Good oysters, Lobster rolls, and other seafood. Both are great atmosphere and views but Pilot is probably a little fancier

replying to u/laurenthead: Grand Banks is a great oyster bar and seafood restaurant, walking distance and an old whaling boat on Pier 25. Lure Fishbar is close by and has a big seafood menu. A bit further away is Dame but well worth the cab ride
