What are the odds?!
And here we are discussing it in little old SELA!

The subject line was easy click-bait for me to begin with - was thinking I might see some SELA-centric takes on the style and had to laugh when I saw the GCOB recipe as the first response.

It is a pretty damn good version BTW. I'm usually more partial to the pan roast (which adds a dollop of Heinz chili sauce and celery salt to the mix) or the NE clam chowder but there is something to be said about the straightforward clean simplicity of the simple oyster stew.

The restaurant itself is classic old NY. I almost always sit at the long marble counter. On the rare slower days it's enough to sit back in the too cramped swivel chairs and take in the buzz of the station under the high vaulted ceilings. It's not unusual for conversations to strike up between strangers at the counter - to my left today a young couple from Sweden were discussing the US presidential race with an aged WASP from Chappequa, NY (the town where the Clinton's settled after Bill's second term). The exchange was entertainment gold.

Worth a stop if you are ever through town.
