L&W Oyster Co.

This midtown seafood eatery, from the team behind Almond, offers fish sandwiches by day and oysters and champagne at night. Look for lunch specials, including a po' boy stuffed with fried oysters and bacon, while dinner dishes run more upscale, like the house-made semolina linguine with clams or a dry-aged rib eye, plus a raw bar featuring a rotating cast of East and West Coast bivalves. Subway tiles, luncheonette booths and a salvaged mid-20th-century Shell sign recall fish shacks of yore.
