Continuing on my trend from this morning I will complete my review of Oysters and the City. Anyone get that joke? Crickets...
Fishtail is right around the corner from my apartment on 62nd and Lex. It's run by a famous chef which equals I stay away. Usually means its overpriced, overrated, tourist-driven restaurant which falls flat. But I really like this place. It's in a cool little townhouse and have these electric jellyfish in this fish tank behind the bar. Sounds like a dumb question to ask the bartender so I don't, but I honestly have no idea if they are real are not. I hope fake because jellyfish scared the living day lights out of me; it runs a close third to goldfish and angelfish. I swear to you if I had to pick between swimming with a shark or starfish, I would pick that shark hands down. Between noon and 5pm and between 10 and 11 pm they have dollar oysters. This is really an unbelievable deal. You would be losing money if you didn't order it. This is such a great deal, even if you don't like oysters still order this damn special. Just be careful because sometimes the bartender acts dumb and doesn't give you the special menu, you need to ask for it. The more I think about it the more I think she's actually just a dumb ass person. (Side note: Funniest movie of 2010. Date Night with Tina Fey and Steve Carell. The bartender at Fishtail reminds me of the host at Claw. "Claw, You're Welcome".) Ohh, and don't forget the free peanut brittle on the way out by the hostess table. Hey, I'm not cheap, "I'm Retired at 28!"
