You may not believe it, but there was a time not long ago where you couldn’t get an oyster in Ossington Village. Now, they are plentiful, and some local establishments even offer “Buck a Shuck” specials where you only have to shell out $1 for each oyster. These are only on certain days of the week, so stick with us and we’ll tell you where and when to get your fill of these delicious bivalves, for cheap! While we’re at it, we’ll fill you in on some other great dining deals in the hood. If you’re a big oyster fan, you may be able to make your way through most of the week eating oysters on the cheap!
