Notable Picks

8.8
$$$ TriBeCa
A caviar-and-seafood-forward counter experience tucked inside Marky’s in Tribeca, where the meal plays like a tight tasting narrative rather than a big raw-bar blowout. Go in expecting precision, rich bites, and guided pacing—best when you let the team steer and keep the order focused.
Must-Try Dishes: Caviar service, Seasonal seafood tasting courses, Raw preparations (when featured)
What makes it special: A Tribeca caviar-and-seafood counter with tasting-menu precision.
$$ Chinatown
A Chinatown stalwart built around live-tank seafood and banquet-style classics, best approached with a small team so you can order across styles—one steamed fish, one shellfish dish, one vegetable, and rice. The room is functional, but the payoff is in big-portion Cantonese seafood cooking that’s designed to feed a table.
Must-Try Dishes: Steamed whole fish (ginger-scallion style), Salt-and-pepper shrimp or squid, Cantonese crab preparation (when available)
What makes it special: Live-seafood Cantonese cooking geared for sharing and variety.
$$$ Little Italy
A Little Italy institution that does red-sauce Italian through a seafood lens—calamari, clams, mussels, and old-school plates that reward ordering like a regular. Keep it classic, keep it paced, and treat it as a nostalgic seafood-Italian stop rather than a modern, technique-driven fish house.
Must-Try Dishes: Fried calamari, Clams (in-house preparations), Mussels (classic Italian style)
What makes it special: A long-running Little Italy seafood-Italian institution (since 1972).

Worthy Picks

$$ Chinatown
A big-room Cantonese seafood and dim-sum option in the heart of Chinatown, best when you aim for steamed and wok-fired staples instead of hunting for novelty. It’s a practical pick for groups who want a lot of food, fast—especially when you build the order around seafood mains plus a few dim sum favorites.
Must-Try Dishes: Dim sum selection (earlier hours), Steamed seafood dishes, Wok-fried seafood plates
What makes it special: A large-format Chinatown seafood + dim sum room built for groups.
$$$ TriBeCa
A Tribeca hotel raw bar that works best as a low-friction oysters-and-cocktails stop rather than a full seafood destination meal. Come for what’s on ice, keep the order lean, and treat it like a polished pre-show or late-evening hang with seawater-bright snacks.
Must-Try Dishes: Oysters on the half shell, Raw bar selections, Classic seafood starters
What makes it special: A Tribeca raw bar built for oysters and cocktails with polish.
