In their own words: “At 7, we have Penny. Penny is a singular seafood bar. Everything is of absolute pristine and remarkable quality, but they do these little things to the seafood to just make it -- to give it almost this ethereal quality. That shrimp cocktail, I think, is the city’s best shrimp cocktail. That pure shrimp is one of my favorite bites in New York. You have -- Razor clams. Razor clams. Oh, the razor -- Razor clams. With this tangle of pickled vegetables on top. Oh, they just -- they’re slurpable. Everything just feels so technically precise. Everything is prepared right. The ratios of ingredients are right. It is briny, bright, tangy. It’s -- Fun. It’s fun to eat there. It’s a fun place. It’s so dialed in.”
