What's the big deal?

For those of you that aren't quite convinced that oysters are the real heroes in a half shell, give us a moment of your time. These shellfish are full of zinc, a scientific back-up for their reputation as ...eh-hem.. excitement inducing. Even more, based on numerous tall-tales like a Venetian Count eating dozens for breakfast every morning in order to boost his performance, as a culture, we've kind of agreed upon this placebo effect aphrodisiac. But even if you don't buy that, oysters encourage a dining-al-fresco type of attitude that complements summer perfectly. Plus, you can't drop a pin in this city without hitting some kind of $1 oyster deal. Trust us, you wanna ride the happy hour-frequenting, oyster-downing bandwagon.
