Desnuda

Brooklyn: Williamsburg, Greenpoint & Bushwick


Slurp briny oysters, sweet clams, tangy ceviches, well-matched wines and herbaceous cocktails at this charming bar and cevicheria, an outpost of the East Village original. With just 18 seats at the raw bar, diners connect with chefs tailoring their meal. Come Sunday or Monday for $1 oysters and cheap drinks, or get the same deal from 6pm to 8pm nightly.

Adventurous diners: don't miss the 'bong-smoked' oysters, which take smoky notes from Lapsang tea leaves (not marijuana, lest you were wondering). Out back there's a discreet cocktail bar sporting vintage-map wallpaper and vaguely colonial-era decor.
