Joseph Leonard: They had us at $1.50 oysters. Sure, Joseph Leonard—perched on the corner of about 17 different streets in the West Village—is smaller than your last studio apartment, with, count them, eight tables. Throw in its old wood and vintage photograph décor (appropriate for the 175-year old building) and the place sure doesn't scream cheap eats. But the deals at Gabriel Stulman's "bar with serious food" don't stop at the flavorful oysters; crab claws are a whopping $2.50, and small plates such as chunk lobster ($10) and shrimp and grits ($9) had us practically licking our plates. Serveral craft ale pints ($7) and 11 different wines ($7-12) will match your raw bar excursion perfectly. Of course, if you're feeling upscale (and if you can snag a teeny round table), there’s a $58 rib-eye for two. Still, there's no shame in sticking to the oysters...even your wallet will agree that they're an aphrodisiac. |
