“As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.”

Last Friday, Allan and went on a cutsie little date. We went to The Mermaid Inn for a light dinner, located in the east village (2nd avenue between 5th and 6th street) and we got there just in time for their happy hour. The Mermaid Inn hosts a happy hour 7 days a week, between 5 and 7 PM Monday through Fridays, and they have specials on selected oysters, drinks and appetizers. We got there as it was opening, and boy were we glad we got there at that time, because the entire restaurant filled up within the next 20 minutes. All the people who came to dine were young, stylish, and trendy! The menu is great, the price is affordable, and the ambiance is surely romantic and hip. But really, you cant go wrong with a $1 oyster special right? So boy's keep this one in the back of your head for your next date ;)
