Oysters and absinthe are a duo worth toasting at this Parisian-meets-N’Awlins cocktail bar on one of Williamsburg’s hottest blocks. Grab a stool at the horseshoe-shaped marble bar and watch shuckers do their thing. Try your best to get out of work early to snag a table; the $1 oyster happy hour is one of the best deals in New York City.
