"Westward is the least touristy of the bunch, but that doesn't make it any less crowded. Be sure to plan ahead before heading to this slick, coastal-inspired place to slurp briny oysters with a view that reminds you where oysters come from. It's an A+ spot for sipping sparkling wine while crunching on potato chips with spicy clam dip, grilled gem lettuces with morita dressing, and baked oysters with 'nduja butter and melty beef lardo. Bonus points if you do all of your snacking in a water-facing Adirondack chair." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, kayla sager riley
