"This spiffy Sherman Zwicker sailboat docked seasonally on Tribeca’s Pier 25 is decked out in white- and yellow-striped awnings and truly lovely views, particularly on the south side of the boat. Choose from over half a dozen oyster varieties, plus sea bream ceviche and cooked options like a lobster roll or caviar-topped latke. Beyond the jaunty Tribeca vessel, the Grand Banks team opened up two more seafood-centric establishments in 2017: Pilot, an oyster joint housed on a boat near Brooklyn Bridge Park, and an expansive raw bar restaurant on Governor’s Island, dubbed Island Oyster." - Alexandra Ilyashov
