I had been looking up Happy Hour places for $1 oysters in New York. The place that I found was in Chelsea Market and they only had Happy Hour at the bar and each time (twice) we tried to go, they’ll tell us it’s 30 minutes non-guaranteed wait. I found that too snooty so we never waited. The first time around, I ended up finding Le Song, which is also inside Chelsea Market, also has buck-a-shuck and it’s throughout the restaurant. So we ended up there instead before our dinner at La Villetta.
Le Song has a super aesthetically pleasing decor. I especially loved the spider plants all over the restaurant. The whole place has a rustic and homey feel.
For Happy Hour, the house white and red were $5, as was the a daily beer. I don’t remember what it was but I don’t think AngryRussian was too impressed with it. The white was also ok and it did the job, and honestly for $5 for a quick sip and bite before our dinner that night, there’s nothing to complain about.
The HH cocktail for $8 was something off the menu. On this day is was something made with bourbon and honey which really didn’t entice me tremendously.
I ordered half a dozen of their $1 oysters. They never mentioned what they were and I didn’t ask. I must say though that either the oyster shucker was very new, or they were busy, or just didn’t care, as there were many, MANY shell shards throughout.
It came with a prosecco mignonette which really wasn’t that good. I stayed with the lemon.
Service was also quite slow…I guess to match their relaxed atmosphere. I did see someone order their chocolate souffle though and I really wanted it but AngryRussian reminded me that we had dinner later…
I wasn’t too impressed with the oysters at Le Song so I don’t think I’ll be back for those. However there are items on the regular menu that do look enticing so perhaps if we’re back we might have a meal here.
