Joe's Crab Shack (CLOSED)

The Texas seafood chain—with more than 130 locations nationwide—drops anchor in Harlem for its first Manhattan outpost. Outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, brightly colored surfboards and a waitstaff sporting tie-dyed "Peace, Love and Crabs" shirts, the 10,000-square-foot restaurant specializes in Southern shellfish dishes. Along with staples like fried catfish, crab buckets and coconut shrimp, the menu features seasonal items, including a summery steam pot of Dungeness crab, sausage and shrimp in a Corona chili-lime bath.
