One of the best restaurants in NYC is Upstate Craft Beer & Oyster Bar, in the East Village. Well, they now have a sister restaurant just around the corner called Edwin & Neals, and that too, is quite awesome. Similar to Upstate, they serve solid seafood and oysters, and it's just a great restaurant.

Start with some oysters then devour their delectable Sweet & Sour calamari with peanuts and cilantro. It's an addictive calamari dish.

My octopus dish I was served the night I dined, was a piece of perfection. As was the salmon they serve, smoked in house, it was absolutely wonderful.

Edwin & Neal's also serves a fabulous Fried Fish Sandwich served with malt vinegar, and fries. #yesplease.

If you are a fan of seafood and a perfect night out, stop by Edwin & Neal's. A magical journey to the sea awaits.
