IllustrationA raw bar, cocktail bar and restaurant right on the East River, with an unobstructed view of the Williamsburg Bridge. Time it for sunset if you can: the sky goes pink and orange behind the bridge, the J train rumbles across, and the peach-colored dining room fills with friends and Italian disco after dark.
Get the razor clam ceviche, bright with lime and little cubes of passionfruit jelly, and the crab salad served in a metal cup with saltines for scooping. Shrimp come with a spicy, toasty shrimp-head mayo that you'll want for the fries too. Café Susanne next door does coffee and cocktails.
Editor’s tip
Book outside for sunset and share the ceviche, crab salad and fries before deciding on mains.
