Penny | Cozy Seafood Bistro near Union Square 🦪

Recently visited this intimate spot known for its fresh seafood and natural wines — here’s the full scoop! 🍽 What We Tried: Iced Box: Razor clam & live scallop were absolute standouts — fresh, delicate, and beautifully presented ❄️ Mackerel: THE star of the night! Crispy skin, tender flesh — perfectly seared and seasoned 🔥 Fresh Bread: A simple but essential lifesaver 🥖 Everything leaned a bit salty toward the end, and this helped balance it out Seaweed Salad: Light and refreshing — a nice palate cleanser 🌿 Stuffed Squid: As recommended by many — tasty and well-stuffed, though also on the saltier side 💡 Tips: Reservations open about a week ahead, and earlier time slots are available. We also saw walk-in guests seated — so it’s worth trying your luck! 🏙 Vibe: Warm, intimate, and unpretentious — the kind of place where you can unwind with good food and thoughtful wine pairings. 📍 Penny — Just steps from Union Square, Manhattan A solid choice for seafood lovers who enjoy shared plates and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Just remember — you might want to order extra bread! 😉 #NYCSeafood #UnionSquareEats #NaturalWines #PennyNYC #FoodDiary #NYCBistro
