"The Deal: $10 cocktails; $10 half-dozen oysters; $18 dozen oysters; $15 beer and a burger; $7 oyster shooters; $9 wine; $4-$5 beer The Wayland, located on Avenue C in Alphabet City, is your ideal neighborhood bar. It's good for dates, good for casual drinks with a small group, and good for happy hour. They make great cocktails, but they aren't uptight like those bars where you have to make a reservation or enter through a fake fridge door." - bryan kim, neha talreja
