Oyster happy hours are a New York City tradition where bivalves and bargain prices collide. Bars and restaurants across the city offer discounted oysters during the early evening, often for a dollar or two apiece. Pair them with a cold beer or a glass of wine and you've got one of the best happy hour combinations the city has to offer. Coastal vibes, city prices.
