"Opening: March Having a tough time landing a table at Claud? You might have better luck at Penny, an affiliated seafood spot opening just above that East Village wine bar. The 31-seat place will serve snacky stuff like shrimp cocktail and tuna carpaccio, with glasses of wine that start at $12. It’ll probably be just as busy as its sibling—but, crucially, it’s mostly walk-in-only." - bryan kim
