The Mermaid Inn - Chelsea

No white tablecloths, no attitude — just really great seafood. The Mermaid Inn on 10th Avenue is Chelsea's coastal escape, steps from the High Line and the neighborhood's iconic galleries. With a New England fish shack energy that's casual, unpretentious, and consistently good — think $1.50 happy hour oysters, inventive cocktails, and a lobster roll on brioche you'll still be thinking about the next day.
