" Dinner at the Mermaid Oyster Bar, with its whitewashed floors and wood-plank walls, feels like a meal at a friend&amp;#039;s weekend house. The newest restaurant from Danny Abrams, who also owns the Mermaid Inns in Manhattan&amp;#039;s East Village and on the Upper West Side, is a kick-back place, as its wall of beach-themed photographs immediately makes clear. Executive chef Laurence Edelman holds true to the place&amp;#039;s name with 16 varieties of oysters as well as classic fish-shack fare like lobster sandwiches with Old Bay fries. But he also offers more refined dishes, such as grilled brook trout with arugula, fennel, and salsa verde. You can&amp;#039;t order dessert\u2014they give it away. Meals end with complimentary chocolate pudding and a Fortune Teller Miracle Fish. If you don&amp;#039;t know what that is, your list of reasons to visit the Mermaid Oyster Bar just got longer. 79 MacDougal Street, New York City; 212-260-0100; themermaidnyc.com.
