"Dame got its start as a beloved pandemic-era fish and chips pop-up, and at their brick-and-mortar on MacDougal Street, you can get those, plus a bunch of other precious-feeling seafood plates. Picture things like grilled oysters with green chartreuse hollandaise, and squid and scallion skewers submerged in parsley oil. It's a pretty tiny spot, and everybody wants to bring a date here and sip on Pimm’s cups, but you can usually snag a late reservation without too much notice. Bring someone who loves seafood on small plates, and make sure to check out the very beautiful bathroom. " - willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja, arden shore
