Eater: If it's not too busy, The Dory is a cool place to pop in for oysters and cocktails. For a special occasion, ask about the chef's table tasting in the kitchen. [Eater 38 Member]
Bravo: The Brass Monkey keeps it real in the meatpacking district. Relaxed, inexpensive (for the 'hood) and great for late night munchies. -Jacqueline Lombard, Top Chef
Amanda Boekelheide: I've been eating here since 2003 & find Ollie's is like an old, cantankerous friend. They have their quirks, but there are reasons that keep you close: the food has its charms for student budgets.
