Pearl Oyster Bar These wispy, salty matchsticks---which arrive in a tangle next to the city's best lobster roll---are best enjoyed with a potent dose of malt vinegar. 18 Cornelia St between Bleecker and W 4th Sts (212-691-8211, pearloysterbar.com). $6. Photograph: Courtesy of Pearl Oyster Bar

This convivial, New England–style joint was a forerunner of the city’s fish-shack trend. The outstanding lobster roll—sweet, lemony meat laced with mayonnaise on a butter-enriched bun—is Pearl’s raison d’être, but more sophisticated dishes fare equally well: A bouillabaisse features briny lobster broth packed with mussels, cod, scallops and clams, with an aioli-smothered crouton balanced on top—a great value at $20. For dessert, try a bittersweet chocolate mousse topped with a quenelle of barely sweetened whipped cream. Finally, a restaurant worthy of its hype.
