"When people talk about Maison Premiere, it’s usually because of the cocktails or the toilet with a chain you have to pull in order to flush. But the old-school absinthe house is also one of the top raw bar spots in the city. The selection of oysters is vast and diverse, and if you order yourself caviar service—starting at $85—a few of those oysters will come on the side. For a less extravagant night out, you can always just do a single oyster with caviar for $21." - bryan kim
