"Penny isn’t cheap, but if you’ve lived in this city long enough, you can delude yourself into finding it affordable. The roughly 30-seat East Village seafood spot from the people behind Claud serves $3 oysters, shrimp for $4.50 a pop, and seafood small plates like tuna carpaccio and stuffed squid in a pool of harissa-like sauce. Should you want caviar, there are several options: a crepe-wrapped purse of the stuff for $49 and a 30g tin that costs $68." - bryan kim
